Table 2 Hydrocephalus incidence rates

From: The incidence of hydrocephalus among patients with and without spinal muscular atrophy (SMA): Results from a US electronic health records study

 

Rate per 100,000 PMs among SMA cases (N = 5354) (IR [95% CI])

Rate per 100,000 PMs among non-SMA matched controls (N = 5354) (IR [95% CI])
