Associations of deep medullary veins with vascular risk factors, laboratory indicators, and cerebral small vessel disease: A population-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Deep medullary veins (DMVs) were not considered a typical marker of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) due to limited understanding of their involvement in pathology of CSVD. This study aimsto investigate potential vascular risk factors for DMVs and their associations with CSVD.

Methods

In total, 1909 community-dwelling participants were included in this analysis. Demographic, clinical, laboratory, and imaging data were collected. DMV scores (0-18) werecalculated as the sum of bilateral frontal, parietal, and occipital regional scores using a semiquantitative visual scale (0-3). The presence, total burden, and imaging markers of CSVD were assessed. Linear regression analyses were conducted to explore potential vascular factors for DMV scores. Binary and ordinal l
