ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE AND BACKGROUND:
Post-dural puncture headache is the most common significant adverse event following lumbar puncture. In this study, we investigated the possible systemic factors associated with risk for post-dural puncture headache (PDPH).METHODS:
We performed a retrospective cohort study in 969 patients who underwent diagnostic lumbar puncture following a standardized protocol. We compared the clinical and laboratory profiles of the post-dural puncture headache group and non-headache group. We also identified independent factors associated with the incidence of post-dural puncture headache.RESULTS:
A total of 48 patients (5%) reported headache; 12 of these patients (25%) received a therapeutic epidural blood patch and the remaining 36 patients improved with conservative treatment. After adjusting for other variables that could be related to PDPH, we found that the development of post lumbar puncture headache was independently associated with age (OR 0.97, 95% CI 0.95-0.99, P = .001) and serum glucose levels (OR 0.98, 95% CI 0.97-0.99, P = .008).When the patients were classified by age, serum glucose levels were persistently lower in patients with PDPH vs those patients without PDPH in all age groups, with more clearly significant differences observed in the elderly (age <30 years, 103.4 mg/dL vs 106.3 mg/dL, P = .716; >60 years, 111.8 mg/dL vs 137.3 mg/dL, P = .023).CONCLUSIONS:
Low glucose levels were inversely associated with risk for post-dural puncture headache. Patients with low serum glucose should be carefully monitored for headache after lumbar puncture.Palabras clave
