Cognitive profile and frailty in patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus
iNPH patients showed reduced cognitive function across all domains. The patient group is rather heterogeneous regarding cognitive symptoms, and no specific cognitive profile was identified. Cognitive assessment offers limited utility for diagnosing a typical pattern specific for iNPH but is important due to the complex needs for this patient group. Whether cognitive and frailty profile can be used to identify shunt responders, must be assessed in longitudinal studies.
