Chronic gastritis may predict risk of cerebral small vessel disease.

ABSTRACT: Chronic gastritis, especially that caused by helicobacter pylori (HP) infection, has been associated with increased risk of ischemic stroke. But the relationship between chronic gastritis and cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) remains largely undetermined. This study aimed to determine the potential predictors for CSVD, with chronic gastritis and its proxies as alternatives. Patients aged 18 years or older with indications for electronic gastroscopy were enrolled. Presence of CSVD was evaluated with brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) results. Degree of CSVD was scored according to established criteria. Logistic regression analysis was used for identifying possible risk factors for CSVD. Of the 1191 enrolled patients, 757 (63.6%) were identified as with, and 434 (36.4%) as without CSVD. Multivariate analysis indicated that patients with chronic atrophic gastritis had an increased risk for CSVD than those without (adjusted odds ratio = 1.58; 95% CI, 1.08-2.32; P < 0.05). Chronic atrophic gastritis is associated with the presence of CSVD. We should routinely screen the presence of CSVD for patients with chronic atrophic gastritis.

Project description:Background and Objective: Studies on relations between arterial stiffness and full spectrum of radiological features of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) are scarce. We aim to investigate the association of arterial stiffness with lacunes, white matter hyperintensities (WMH), microbleeds (CMBs), dilated perivascular spaces (PVS), and brain atrophy in a community-based sample. Methods: A total of 953 participants (55.7 ± 9.4 years) who underwent brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) and brain magnetic resonance imaging were included. Lacunes, CMBs, and PVS were visually rated. Brain structure and WMH were automatically segmented. Brain parenchyma fraction (BPF), a surrogate index of brain atrophy, was calculated as a ratio of brain parenchyma volume to total intracranial volume. Multivariable logistic and linear regressions were used to investigate the associations between baPWV and CSVD. Subsequently, we explored these associations in strata of age. Results: Increased baPWV was associated with severe PVS in white matter (OR, 1.09; 95%CI, 1.01-1.17; p = 0.022), larger WMH volume (β, 0.08; 95%CI, 0.04-0.12; p < 0.001), lower BPF (β, -0.09; 95%CI, -0.15- -0.03; p = 0.007), and marginally associated with strictly lobar CMBs (OR, 1.11; 95%CI, 1.00-1.23; p = 0.055), but not with lacunes. WMH volume mediated the relation between baPWV and BPF. In age subgroup analysis, the association of baPWV with PVS in white matter was stronger among those aged <55 years, whereas the association with brain atrophy was more prominent among those aged ≥55 years. Increased baPWV was associated with larger WMH volume in both younger and older individuals. Conclusions: Increased arterial stiffness was associated with most of imaging markers of CSVD, including PVS in white matter, larger WMH volume, strictly lobar CMBs, and brain atrophy, but not lacunes. The mechanisms underlying these associations and their potential clinical significances warrant further investigations.
