Among these children, ETV was the primary intervention in 45, VP shunt in 24, and could be studied for a mean follow-up of 1.7 years. Though ETV required lesser additional intervention than VP shunt (19.2% vs. 28.6%) in toddlers and older children, there was no overall significant difference. Subnormal cognitive scores were noted in 25%, 40%, and 50% after ETV, single shunt procedure, and multiple shunt procedures, respectively, with no statistically significant difference. Among the different domains of QOL, the child reported scores in the social domain were significantly better after ETV than VP shunt (475[+13] vs. 387[+43],\n                      <jats:italic
