Stents for Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension: Meta-Analyzed, Hypo-Analyzed, and In Need of a Trial.
How did the recent article by Satti et al pass muster? A review of the status of venous sinus stent placement in 2013 included more patients with stents than the so-called meta-analysis review in your October 2015 issue. Seven of the studies cited in the 2013 analysis had only 1 patient each and were not included in the 2015 analysis; stripped of those 7 single patient studies, the 2015 meta-an...
متن کاملAnalyzed for Procalcitonin (liaison
Brahms PCT), yielding a result of 0.88 g/L, slightly higher than the cutoff value (0.58 g/L). The crossreactivity with procalcitonin might be more likely in our sample measured with a polyclonal assay. Other interferences cannot be excluded. The 2 CT assays give markedly different results. The introduction of an internationally agreed upon standard would contribute to optimizing the CT assay, t...
متن کاملThe idiopathic intracranial hypertension treatment trial: design considerations and methods.
BACKGROUND The objectives of this study were to present the rationale for the main aspects of the study design and describe the trial methodology for the Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension Treatment Trial (IIHTT). METHODS Eligible candidates with mild visual field loss (automated perimetric mean deviation [PMD] -2 to -7 dB) were randomized to receive either acetazolamide or matching placebo...
متن کاملRandomised controlled trial of bariatric surgery versus a community weight loss programme for the sustained treatment of idiopathic intracranial hypertension: the Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension Weight Trial (IIH:WT) protocol
INTRODUCTION Effective treatments are lacking for idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), a condition characterised by raised intracranial pressure (ICP) and papilloedema, and found primarily in obese women. Weight loss and lowering body mass index (BMI) have been shown to lower ICP and improve symptoms in IIH; however, weight loss is typically not maintained, meaning IIH symptoms return. T...
متن کاملIdiopathic intracranial hypertension.
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension is common in obese women and can lead to significant visual impairment. First described more than 100 years ago, the cause of the disorder remains unknown. Despite a multitude of proposed links, the aetiology has never been established. Impairment of cerebrospinal-fluid reabsorption is the most likely underlying pathophysiological cause of the raised pressur...
