Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The purpose of this study is to assess the diagnostic accuracy of ShuntCheck compared with radionuclide shunt patency testing (SPS) to detect CSF shunt flow of NPH patients with suspected shunt obstruction.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Ages Eligible for Study:40 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study:ALL
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:Not specified
Standard Ages:ADULT, OLDER_ADULT
Inclusion CriteriaExclusion Criteria
  1. * Men or women 40 yo or older and have a VP shunt placed for NPH and are suspected of shunt obstruction.
  2. * Capable of providing valid signed informed consent, or has a legal guardian, health care agent, or surrogate decision maker (according to local statutes, and collectively referred to as "surrogates" in this protocol) capable of providing valid, signed informed consent
  1. * Presence of multiple shunts, or presence of more than one distal shunt catheter (regardless of function) crossing the clavicle ipsilateral to the shunt with suspected obstruction;
  2. * ShuntCheck test would interfere with standard patient care, or emergency shunt surgery that cannot be delayed is indicated;
  3. * Presence of an interfering open wound or edema over any portion of the VP shunt.
