Correlation of enlarged perivascular spaces in basal ganglion and cancer-associated stroke: a case-control study in China.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The incidence of cancer-associated ischaemic stroke (IS) is increasingly prevalent. This study aimed to assess the levels of enlarged perivascular spaces in basal ganglion (BG-EPVS) in cancer-associated patients who had a stroke compared with the control group, and to investigate the diagnostic utility of BG-EPVS in the context of cancer-associated stroke.

Method

A matched case-control study was conducted in Xiamen, China. A total of 184 IS patients (cancer vs control=1:1) were recruited. The severity of BG-EPVS was graded using high-resolution MRI. Patients' gender, age, clinical risk factors, other imaging changes and laboratory findings information at admission were collected. Logistic regression models were constructed and subgroup analysis by cancer treatme
