ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) causes cognitive decline and perivascular space enlargement is one of the image markers for CSVD.PURPOSE:
To search for clinical significance in the time-course augmentation of perivascular space in basal ganglia (BG-PVS) for cognitive decline. MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
This study population included 179 participants from a community-based cohort, aged 70 years at baseline. They had undergone magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies two or three times between 2000 and 2008. Based on the severity of BG-PVS or white matter hyperintensity lesions (WMHL) in 2000, the participants were divided into low-grade or high-grade groups, respectively. In addition, their time-course augmentation was evaluated, and we created a categorical BG-PVS WMHL change score based on their augmentation (1 = neither, 2 = BG-PVS augmentation only, 3 = WMHL augmentation only, 4 = both). Cognitive function was assessed based on the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE); the change was defined as the difference between scores in 2000 and 2008. We used simple or multiple regression analysis for MMSE score change according to MRI findings and clinical characteristics that were probably related to cognitive decline.RESULTS:
In univariate analysis, MMSE score change was negatively associated with BG-PVS high grade at baseline and BG-PVS WMHL change score 4; this remained significant in multivariate analysis. In the final model based on the Akaike Information Criterion, BG-PVS WMHL change score 4 was associated with a 3.3-point decline in subsequent MMSE score.CONCLUSIONS:
This study suggested that augmentation in both BG-PVS and WMHL was associated with subsequent cognitive decline.Palavras-chave
