Retrospective Analysis of Clinical Features in Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Infectionsin Adults

Infection Clinical Trial

Official title:
Retrospective Analysis of Clinical Features in Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Infections and Time to Re-Implantation in Adults

Clinical Trial Summary

The objectives of this study are:

- To describe the incidence of clinical features in adults with internal ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt infections,

- To determine the validity of laboratory parameters in adults with internal ventriculoperitoneal shunt infections and

- To evaluate the relationship between the timing of shunt re-implantation with the rates of relapse and secondary infection.

Clinical Trial Description

Information from medical records of patients seen by the PI will be collected and analyzed to describe the incidence of clinical features in adults with internal ventriculoperitoneal shunt infections, to determine the validity of laboratory parameters in adults with internal ventriculoperitoneal shunt infections and to evaluate the relationship between the timing of shunt re-implantation with the rates of relapse and secondary infection. ;
