The role of cerebral microbleeds in the incidence of post-stroke dementia

Abstract

Microbleeds are a marker of cerebrovascular disease however its role in incident post-stroke dementia (PSD) remains unclear. We investigated whether microbleeds are associated with incident PSD, domain-specific cognitive impairment and cognitive decline over a 2-year follow-up; and whether microbleeds interact with acute stroke-related infarcts to synergistically affect cognitive outcomes. In a cohort of patients with first-episode mild ischemic stroke and no pre-stroke dementia, we found patients with 3 or more mixed microbleeds (presence of both lobar and deep) were 4 times more at risk of developing PSD compared to patients with no microbleeds. Patients with strictly lobar microbleeds were 10 times more at risk of developing memory impairment while patients with possible CAA-related microbleeds were 8 times more at risk of developing memory impairment compared to patients with no microbleeds. Microbleeds did not predict cognitive decline at the 2-year follow-up. Acute stroke infarcts were not related to any cognitive outcomes. Microbleeds did not interact with stroke infracts to synergistically affect cognitive outcomes. Our findings suggest that the combined effect of possible CAA and hypertension-related microbleeds play a large and direct role in incident PSD. Management of vasculopathy and amyloid deposition may positively impact cognitive outcomes after stroke.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
