PURPOSE: Predicting postoperative persistent hydrocephalus risk in pediatric medulloblastoma remains challenging using conventional clinical features. We investigated whether deep learning (DL) of pathomic features could improve postoperative hydroce...

BACKGROUND: Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) is a common treatment for pediatric obstructive hydrocephalus, but predicting its success remains challenging. Traditional predictive tools, such as the Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy Success Score...
Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt obstruction, often caused by protein and fat accumulation at the ventricular catheter ports, impedes cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) outflow, increases intracranial pressure (ICP), and leads to hydrocephalus. Current treatme...
The identification of factors associated with chronic shunt-dependent hydrocephalus (CSDH) following spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) remains challenging, despite numerous studies. Early recognition of patients at higher risk for requiring s...
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a severe condition with high morbidity and long-term neurological consequences. Radiomics, by extracting quantitative features from Computed Tomograhpy (CT) scans, may reveal imaging biomarkers predictive of outcomes....
In order to construct a clinical classification prediction model for hydrocephalus after intercerebral haemorrhage(ICH) to guide clinical treatment decisions, this paper retrospectively analyses the clinical data of 844 cases of ICH and hydrocephalus...

PURPOSE: This Hydrocephalus Clinical Research Network (HCRN) study had two aims: (1) to compare the predictive performance of the original ETV Success Score (ETVSS) using logistic regression modeling with other newer machine learning models and (2) t...
OBJECTIVE: The Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy Success Score (ETVSS) is a useful decision-making heuristic when considering the probability of surgical success, defined traditionally as no repeat cerebrospinal fluid diversion surgery needed within 6...
OBJECTIVE: To assess the efficacy of machine learning models in identifying factors associated with the need for permanent ventricular shunt placement in patients experiencing intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) who require emergency cerebrospinal fluid (...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Hydrocephalus involves abnormal cerebrospinal fluid accumulation in brain ventricles. Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for timely intervention and preventing progressive neurological deterioration. The aim of this st...
