Procedural and patient-related factors play differential roles in the postdural puncture headache

This is the first study to detail the previous headache features in the development of postdural puncture headache and to extensively examine the risk factors for immediate and delayed postdural puncture headache. It was shown for the first time that patient-related factors may be more important in terms of the development of postdural puncture headache, and procedure-related factors gain importance in terms of its time of occurrence.
