Relationship of Bern Score, Spinal Elastance, and Opening Pressure in Patients With Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension

Abstract

OP is not an effective predictor for diagnosing CSF leak and if used in isolation would result in misdiagnosis of 94% of patients in our cohort. The Bern score was associated with a higher diagnostic yield of dCTM. Elastance was significantly associated with certain components of the Bern score.
