Prognosis of idiopathic intracranial hypertension in Saudi Arabia

Student's unpaired t test was used to compare continuous variables, Fisher's exact test was used for categorical data, and binary logistic regression analysis was used to predict visual outcomes. Case reports have associated IIH with iron deficiency anemia, hypothyroidism, polycystic ovary...

Description
Summary:Student's unpaired t test was used to compare continuous variables, Fisher's exact test was used for categorical data, and binary logistic regression analysis was used to predict visual outcomes. Case reports have associated IIH with iron deficiency anemia, hypothyroidism, polycystic ovary syndrome, and use of steroids, vitamin A, and oral contraceptives, but case-control studies did not find such associations.
