Epidemiological Patterns, Treatment Response, and Metabolic Correlations of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension: A US-Based Study From 1990 to 2024.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) presents an increasing health burden with changing demographic patterns. We studied nationwide trends in IIH epidemiology, treatment patterns, and associated outcomes using a large-scale database analysis within the United States (US).

Methods

We performed a retrospective analysis using the TriNetX US Collaborative Network database (1990-2024). We investigated demographic characteristics, time-based trends, geographic distribution, treatment pathways patterns, comorbidity profiles and associated risks with IIH. We used multivariate regression, Cox proportional hazards modeling, and standardized morbidity ratios to assess various outcomes and associations.

Results

Among 51,526 patients, we found a significant incr
