abstract = {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 $(57.6\%)$ had a complete and
14 $(42.4\%)$ an incomplete Hakim's triad. The difference
between the MoCA scores before and after CSF drainage varied
between patients with and without a response to CSF drainage
(F(1;22) = 5.725; p = 0.026). There was a trend that
patients with a pathological corpus callosum angle and
conspicuous Evans index (p = 0.052) as well as patients with
a pathological corpus callosum angle, Evans index and
complete clinical Hakim's triad (p = 0.055) more frequently
show a response. The mean Fazekas score was 1.7. There was
no correlation between the Fazekas score and response to CSF
drainage. In 25 patients $(75.8\%)$ biomarkers for dementia
and neurodegeneration were detected. According to the ATN
classification 20 patients $(80\%)$ were categorized as
A+T-, 3 $(12.0\%)$ as A+T+ and 2 $(8.0\%)$ as A-T-. Patients
classified as A+T+ and A+T- did not respond more often to
CSF drainage (p = 0.600).The combined determination of the
corpus callosum angle and the Evans index as well es their
contextualization with clinical characteristics can possibly
improve the prognostic evaluation regarding response to CSF
draínage. Especially a comorbid amyloid pathology and a
cerebral microangiopathy represent frequent copathologies of
iNPH but the influence on the response to CSF drainage
remains to be elucidated.},
