Abstract | OBJECTIVE: DESIGN: Cohort study. PATIENTS: METHODS: RESULTS: At baseline, CAM was more sensitive than the Mini Mental State Exam in predicting responders. Post-drainage: responders improved on 52% of tests while non-responders improved on only 11%. Assessments that differentiated magnitude of improvement in responders vs non-responders were: TUG (p<0.05), Tinetti total (p<0.001), Tinetti balance (p<0.001), Tinetti gait (p<0.001), FIM toilet transfer (p<0.001), and FIM lower body dressing (p<0.001). CONCLUSION:
