Post‐lumbar puncture headaches: Experience in 501 consecutive procedures
Abstract
To ascertain the frequency and risk factors for post-lumbar puncture headache, we studied all adults who had an ambulatory lumbar puncture (LP) in a 1-year period. Patients filled out a questionnaire detailing their headache experience on the day of, and the 6 days following, LP. Those who did not return the questionnaire were telephoned. We systematically collected and analyzed many items, including the lumbar puncturist's experience, the degree of difficulty of the LP, CSF findings, final diagnosis, and the patient's demographic characteristics. Patients reporting headache before LP were more likely to report post-LP headaches. In addition to this, younger female patients with a lower body mass index have the highest risk of developing post-LP headaches. CSF opening pressure, cells, and protein, patient's position during LP, the duration of recumbency following LP, and the amount of CSF removed at the time of LP did not influence the occurrence of headache.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
