“…In the gait domain, there was also an inconsistency of classification, as the scale had a different classification for the imbalance item, but without distinction of an objective gait disorder. Cordero Tous et al 24 carried out a prospective study using clinical scales and radiological findings to evaluate 40 patients with NPH. The items of the NPH scale in the cognitive domain were confusing, including the vegetative state, severe dementia and personality changes, which were difficult to stage and describe.…”

Objective: The current study translated to Portuguese and validated the normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) scale originally developed in English as the Grading Scale for Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus. Methods: Following Guillemin's validation protocol, the last version of the Portuguese NPH scale was applied to 121 consecutive patients with a diagnosis of normal pressure hydrocephalus (73 men and 48 women) from the Group of Cerebral Hydrodynamics from July 2010 to March 2012. Results: The mean age was 71.09 years old, ranging from 35 to 92 years. The rate of agreement and reproducibility was high, as confirmed by Cohen's Kappa coefficient, with excellent intraobserver correlation for the NPH scale items individually evaluated: gait (0.80), dementia (0.90) and incontinence (0.87). Conclusions: The Portuguese version of the Grading Scale for Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus was successfully translated and validated for use in Brazilian patients.
