Ommaya reservoir infection rate: a 6-year retrospective cohort study of Ommaya reservoir in pediatrics

摘要

In this study, we investigated Ommaya reservoir among pediatric patients, its infection rate, and the predisposing factors. We also investigated its role in the reduction of CSF protein. Finally, we explored other factors that would influence the decision to insert an Ommaya in comparison to external ventricular drainage.
