The demography of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus: data on 3000 consecutive, surgically treated patients and a systematic review of the literature
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to describe the demographic characteristics of patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) through an analysis of 3000 consecutive, surgically treated Swedish patients and a systematic review of the literature. METHODS: Data on age, sex, comorbidities, diagnostic delay, initial symptoms, and severity of symptoms at diagnosis were extracted from the Swedish Hydrocephalus Quality Registry. In addition, a systematic PRISMA-based review of the literature published from database inception until August 2019 was performed using the PubMed, Cochrane, and Scopus databases on the basis of two concepts: normal pressure hydrocephalus and demography and their association with related terms. Of 1020 unique articles, 16 were eligible for study inclusion and were assessed for quality using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Mean and weighted mean values were calculated. RESULTS: The mean patient age at the time of surgery was 74.4 years, 79% of patients were in their 70s, and 60% of the patients were men. Almost 50% of the patients had symptoms from four main domains (i.e., balance, gait, cognition, and urinary dysfunction) at disease onset. Patients aged < 60 years (2%) reported more headaches and fewer balance problems than those aged ≥ 60. Women were more impaired in function than men at the time of diagnosis. Dementia (Mini-Mental State Examination score < 25) was found in 47% of the patients. Men had more diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, and stroke than women, and comorbidity correlated with increased impairment. The incidence of surgery for iNPH was 20%-40% of the disease incidence according to survey and operation-based studies. CONCLUSIONS: Most iNPH patients undergo surgery in their 70s. Those aged < 60 years show slightly different symptomatology and probably present with a specific disease entity, indicating that the lower age limit for iNPH should be 60 years. iNPH patients have severe impairment preceded by a long diagnostic delay. Even though the included study designs differed, the systematic review showed that the disorder has a very low treatment incidence. The importance of diagnosing and treating iNPH is further emphasized by the fact that iNPH may account for a considerable part of all cases of dementia.
