Description
Summary:Highlights • This is an administrative database study of 525 endoscopic third ventriculostomy procedures in adults. • The overall success rate of ETV in adult patients was 74.7%. • Most of the ETV failures occurred within the first month after surgery. • History of prior shunt and length of index hospital stay were associated with risk of ETV failure. • Age, gender, and etiology of hydrocephalus were not associated with ETV failure.
