Résumé
Against the backdrop of the diverse minority-majority state of Hawaii, this study seeks to better characterize associations between idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) with sociodemographic variables and medical comorbidities. A retrospective case-control study was conducted by utilizing 54 IIH patients and 216 age-, sex-, and race-matched controls, 216 unmatched controls, and 63 age-, sex-, and race-matched migraine patients. Relative to controls, IIH were 25 years younger (p < 0.0001) and 10.18 kg/m These results not only better characterize IIH, but also highlight socioeconomic and racial disparities in diagnosis.
