Association between cerebral microbleeds and cognition in a memory clinic population.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The cognitive consequences of cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) in memory clinic population with a diverse cognitive spectrum remain unclear.

Objectives

This study aimed to investigate how CMBs at different locations are associated with cognitive performance in a memory clinic population and whether these associations are independent of related small vessel disease (SVD) markers.

Design

A cross-sectional study.

Setting

A university hospital memory clinic. Data were collected from December 2004 to September 2014 and analyzed in June 2024.
