To characterise trends in incidence, prevalence, and healthcare outcomes in the idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) population in Wales using routinely collected healthcare data. Methods: We used and validated primary and secondary care IIH diagnosis codes within the Secure Anonymised Information Linkage databank, to ascertain IIH cases and controls, in a retrospective cohort study between 2003… Continue reading Incidence, Prevalence and Healthcare Outcomes in Idiopathic #Intracranial #Hypertension: A Population Study

Bedside #Optic Nerve Ultrasonography for Diagnosing Increased Intracranial #pressure: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Optic nerve ultrasonography (optic nerve sheath diameter sonography) has been proposed as a noninvasive, quick method for diagnosing increased intracranial pressure ..Accuracy estimates were similar among studies stratified by patient age, operator specialty and training level, reference standard, sonographer blinding status, and cutoff value. The optimal cutoff for optic nerve sheath dilatation on ultrasonography was… Continue reading Bedside #Optic Nerve Ultrasonography for Diagnosing Increased Intracranial #pressure: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
