Silent brain infarct (SBI), which has traditionally been considered clinically silent, has been proposed as a subclinical risk marker for future cognitive function decline.
We conducted a systematic review of literature in the Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure database.
In the end, 19 case-control studies, comprising 6712 participants, and 3 prospective cohort studies comprising 4433 participants, met all inclusion criteria and were included in the systematic review. Meta-analysis of 9 studies showed that SBI was an important factor in cognitive function decline (Mini-Mental State score) (standardized mean difference -.47, 95% confidence interval; -.72 to -.22). Another meta-analysis of 4 studies reported the SBI was an independent factor in cognitive dysfunction (Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale) (standardized mean difference -3.36, 95% confidence interval; -5.90 to -.82). Ten studies further reported that SBI was associated with decreases in specific areas of cognitive function.
These results suggest that rather than being clinically silent, SBI might be a factor inducing cognitive dysfunction.
既往一直被认为临床无症状的脑梗死(SBI),已被提出作为未来认知功能下降的亚临床风险标志物。
我们在考克兰图书馆、医学期刊数据库、荷兰医学文摘数据库和中国知网数据库中对文献进行了系统评价。
最终,19项病例对照研究(共6712名参与者)和3项前瞻性队列研究(共4433名参与者)符合所有纳入标准并被纳入该系统评价。对9项研究的荟萃分析表明,SBI是认知功能下降(简易精神状态评分)的一个重要因素(标准化均差为-0.47,95%置信区间为-0.72至-0.22)。对4项研究的另一项荟萃分析报告称,SBI是认知功能障碍(蒙特利尔认知评估量表)的一个独立因素(标准化均差为-3.36,95%置信区间为-5.90至-0.82)。10项研究进一步报告称,SBI与特定认知功能领域的下降有关。
这些结果表明,SBI可能并非临床无症状,而是诱导认知功能障碍的一个因素。
