Demography and clinical data from NPH patients and controls. Data were presented as mean (±standard deviation) unless indicated otherwise. NPH = Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus; MMSE = Mini mental state examination. For age, independent t-test was performed which came out as significant (p < 0.05).
Characteristics of the sample | Control (NNC)a | NPH |
---|---|---|
Total samples | 13 | 23 |
Age (Mean ± SD) | 58.07 ± 9.47 | 72.78 ± 9.15 |
Gender | Male 4; Female 9 | Male 13; Female 10 |
Disease duration (Mean ± SD) | – | 32 months ± 63 monthsb |
MMSE Score (Mean ± SD) | – | 23.17 ± 7.34c |
Control subjects might have other non-neurological ailments but not NPH, hence given the name Non-NPH Control (NNC). MMSE evaluation was not carried out in NNC subjects.
Data from 5 patients were not obtained; Disease duration of one patient was 276 months which caused high SD.
Data from 5 patients were not obtained.
