%X Analysis of the frequency of comorbid Alzheimer's disease in patients with suspected idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) and its effects on the response to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage as well as analysis of the frequency of a vascular copathology in patients with suspected iNPH.This was a prospective observational analysis of patients with suspected iNPH who underwent guideline-conform NPH routine diagnostics including CSF drainage during clinical routine diagnostics between 1 July 2022 and 30 June 2023. Patients were recruited via the departments of neurology, neurosurgery and psychiatry of the University Hospital Carl Gustav Carus in Dresden. Typical NPH imaging results were acquired from available magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) sectional images. Relevant sociodemographic, clinical, cognitive and CSF diagnostic parameters were acquired via patient chart review. The patients were categorized with respect to the CSF results according to the amyloid-tau-neurodegeneration (ATN) classification.During the observational period 33 patients (14 female, 19 male, mean age 74.6 ± 8.1 years) with suspected iNPH were analyzed. Of the patients 19 (57.6
