| Calculation of the | Score | Age | Etiology | Previous Shunt |
| 0 | <1 mo | Postinfectious | Previous shunt | 10 | 1 mo to <6 mos | | No previous shunt | 20 | | Myelomeningocele, IVH, nontectal brain tumor | | 30 | 6 mos to <1 yr | Aqueductal stenosis, tectal tumor, other | | 40 | 1 yr to <10 yrs | | | 50 | 10 yrs | | |
