ABSTRACT
Although the association between cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) and cognitive impairment is increasingly recognized, it not clear whether this because of impact recurrent intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) events, disruptions caused by small vessel damage, or both. We investigated considering before ICH was associated with neuroimaging features CAA on magnetic resonance imaging.We studied 166 patients neuroimaging-confirmed recruited to a prospective multicentre observational study. Preexisting determined using Informant Questionnaire Cognitive Decline in Elderly (IQCODE). Magnetic imaging markers disease, including CAA, were rated trained observers according consensus guidelines.The prevalence 24.7% (n=41) and, adjusted analyses, fulfilling modified Boston criteria for probable at presentation (odds ratio, 4.01; 95% confidence interval, 1.53-10.51; P=0.005) higher composite score (for each point increase, odds 1.42; 1.03-1.97; P=0.033). also found independent associations pre-ICH decline presence cortical superficial siderosis, strictly lobar microbleeds, location, but other markers, disease score.CAA (defined markers) symptomatic ICH. This provides evidence that disruption makes an contribution impairment, addition effects due brain injury directly ICH.URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT02513316.
