From: Outcomes and prognostic factors of infantile acquired hydrocephalus: a single-center experience
General outcomes of different etiologies
Tumor/cyst/mass lesion were rare cases; therefore, they were not counted.
Numbers and proportions of the adverse outcomes were shown in the bar chart. The proportions in preterm group of the adverse outcomes among with post-hemorrhagic, post-meningitic, and both post-hemorrhagic and post-meningitic hydrocephalus were 41%, 46%, and 57%, respectively. The proportions of term group in among those with post-hemorrhagic, post-meningitic, both post-hemorrhagic and post-meningitic hydrocephalus, and hydrocephalus from inherited metabolic diseases were 35%, 39%, 40%, and 91%, respectively. Significant difference in adverse outcome proportion between inherited error of metabolism as a cause and other etiologies (P = 0.02).
