- Why, How Often, and What Happens When We Fail: A Retrospective Analysis of Failed Fluoroscopically Guided Lumbar Punctures
Initial and repeat FGLPs have very high success rates. No difference exists in the likelihood of patients returning for a re-attempt based on clinical indication.
- NCCT Markers of Intracerebral Hemorrhage Expansion Using Revised Criteria: An External Validation of Their Predictive Accuracy
No single NCCT expansion marker had both high sensitivity and specificity for the prediction of revised hematoma expansion. Improved image-based analysis is needed to tackle limitations associated with current NCCT-based expansion markers.
- Efficacy of Epidural Blood Patching or Surgery in Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension: A Systematic Review and Evidence Map
Evidence gaps demonstrate a need for prospective study designs, clinical trials, and comparative studies. The authors recommend using the International Classification of Headache Disorders-3 diagnostic criteria, explicit reporting of CSF leak subtype, inclusion of key procedural details, and using objective validated outcome measures collected at uniform time points.
