Optimal Application Indices for Shunt Surgery for Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus with an Evans Index Below 0.3
The response rates to shunt surgery were comparable in patients with EI ≤0.3 and EI >0.3 without statistical significance. The z-EI is a useful tool for identifying shunt responders among those with a lower EI, potentially expanding the therapeutic options for patients previously considered ineligible.
