To investigate the role of vascular risk factors in different subtypes of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in a multicentric, clinic-based, cross-sectional study.
Two-hundred and seven subjects with MCI were included in the study: 33 with single non-memory MCI (snmMCI), 42 with multiple-domain amnestic MCI (mdMCI-a) and 132 with amnestic MCI (aMCI). Several clinical vascular risk factors and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain lesions were evaluated.
snmMCI showed a higher frequency of ischaemic heart disease and of transient ischaemic attack (TIA)/stroke, a higher Hachinski ischaemic score and a higher frequency of white-matter lesions on MRI compared to aMCI. Subjects with mdMCI-a showed clinical characteristics similar to aMCI, except for a higher frequency of a history of TIA/stroke.
Our findings suggest that snmMCI may be considered a vascular cognitive disorder.
在一项多中心、基于临床的横断面研究中,调查血管危险因素在轻度认知障碍(MCI)不同亚型中的作用。
本研究纳入了207例MCI患者:33例为单一非记忆型MCI(snmMCI),42例为多领域遗忘型MCI(mdMCI-a),132例为遗忘型MCI(aMCI)。评估了几种临床血管危险因素和磁共振成像(MRI)脑损伤情况。
与aMCI相比,snmMCI的缺血性心脏病和短暂性脑缺血发作(TIA)/中风发生率更高,Hachinski缺血评分更高,MRI上白质病变频率更高。mdMCI-a患者的临床特征与aMCI相似,只是TIA/中风病史的发生率更高。
我们的研究结果表明,snmMCI可能被视为一种血管性认知障碍。
