All patients were treated with ventriculoperitoneal shunting and re-examined 6\u00a0months after shunting. Patient demographics and outcomes were gathered in a prospective, electronic database that spanned from January 2012 to January 2020. A validated iNPH scale was used to assess patients preoperatively and 6\u00a0months postoperatively. The relationship of the relative pulse pressure coefficient (RPPC), delta amplitude, successful lowering of amplitude, and the pressure-value at a hypothetical amplitude of zero (P<jats:sub>0<\/jats:sub>), resistance to outflow (R<jats:sub>out<\/jats:sub>), and outcome, were assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>We included 38 patients.

The delta amplitude was 0.16\u00a0kPa (IQR 0.10\u20130.23) in improved patients and 0.18\u00a0kPa (IQR 0.11\u20130.24) in non-improved patients.
