Change in Cognition and Frailty After Shunt Surgery in Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (iNPH)
Sponsor: Oslo University Hospital
Summary
The goal of this observational study is to describe changes in cognitive profile and frailty from pre shunt to one year after the shunt surgery and to identify clinical predictors of an improvement in terms of cognition and frailty during the same period. The main objective is to identify predictors of the effect on the planned shunt surgery on cognition and frailty.
