Scientific Session IV: Pediatrics, Question and Answer Session V

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses the statistical benefit of adjusting valves for younger children in a study. They mention that age didn't necessarily correlate with the number of revisions. The speaker then answers questions about the opening pressure of the valves in different groups, mentioning that most were medium pressure. They explain that valve adjustments were done based on routine follow-up and MRI scans to assess the size of the ventricular system. If the ventricles were getting smaller, they would continue to adjust the valve settings, and if they were getting too big, they would stop. The speaker also mentions that they didn't compare different entry points for the shunts due to low numbers. They discuss analyzing data related to ventricle size and valve adjustments but haven't found a definite method yet. They note that turning the valve up ultimately kept the ventricles bigger. No credits were given in the transcript.
