Idiopathic normal‐pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a progressive, severe brain disorder, which mainly affects people above the age of 65 years. iNPH is characterized by the accumulation of excess cerebrospinal fluid in the brain's ventricles. In most cases, iNPH patients can be effectively treated with shunt surgery, which involves placing a tube into the brain to drain the excess fluid. As part of the European Brain Council‐led Value of Treatment project, this study aimed to investigate the cost‐effectiveness of delivering timely and adequate iNPH treatment in Germany.

特发性正常压力脑积水：在德国提供及时和充分治疗的成本效益

特发性正常压力脑积水 (iNPH) 是一种进行性、严重的脑部疾病，主要影响 65 岁以上的人。iNPH 的特征是脑室中过多的脑脊液积聚。在大多数情况下，iNPH 患者可以通过分流手术有效治疗，该手术包括将管子放入大脑以排出多余的液体。作为欧洲脑理事会领导的治疗价值项目的一部分，本研究旨在调查在德国提供及时和充分的 iNPH 治疗的成本效益。
