Association of Hydrocephalus Etiology, Infection Rate, and Age at Shunt Placement: A Retrospective Analysis of 150 Cases

Abstract

    his retrospective research examined 150 people five years after their initial cerebral fluid shunt. Hydrocephalus aetiology, infection rates, and shunt age were investigated. Medical records were evaluated for hydrocephalus aetiology, surgical evaluations of under-one-year-olds, infection rates, and treatments. Statistics examined hydrocephalus aetiology, infection rate, and age. Meningomyelocele was 40%, obstructed or congenital communication 33%, tumours 18%, and meningitis or intraventricular haemorrhage the remainder. 83% of surgeries were on under-12-month-olds, 18% on newborns. 33 infections resulted from 22% per person and 6% each surgery. Seniors had lower infection rates (P < 0.01) than meningomyelocele patients (P=0.06). Meningomyelocele and congenital hydrocephalus patients require age-related infection studies. Shunting after two weeks may reduce meningomyelocele infection rates.
