基于临床特征、SPECT/CT脑灌注显像参数和颈动脉超声斑块特征的多因素模型对无症状性颈动脉狭窄患者认知功能下降的风险评估(Risk Assessment of Cognitive Decline in Asymptomatic Carotid Artery Stenosis Patients: A Multifactor Model Based on Cl... by 王梦蝶，韩硕，刘志翔，谢海(WANG Mengdie, HAN Shuo, LIU Zhixiang, XIE Hai)

“…The differences in the percentage of hypertension history (62.9% vs. 35.6%, P=0.016), whole brain mean rCBF (0.82±0.09 vs. 0.93±0.08, P<0.001), asymmetry index (AI) [(8.2±2.1)% vs. (5.9±1.8)%, P<0.001], plaque area [(24.3±7.6) mm2 vs. (17.8±6.5) mm2, P<0.001], and the percentage of hypoechoic plaque (62.9% vs. 24.4%, P=0.012) between the cognitive decline group and the non-cognitive decline group were statistically significant. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the history of hypertension (OR 2.68, 95%CI 1.07-6.71, P=0.035), rCBF<0.85 (OR 2.79, 95%CI 1.08-7.21, P=0.034), AI>7% (OR 3.00, 95%CI 1.15-7.82, P=0.025), plaque area≥20 mm2 (OR 2.86, 95%CI 1.09-7.52, P=0.033), and the presence of hypoechoic plaque (OR 2.95, 95%CI 1.17-7.44, P=0.022) were independent predictors of cognitive decline. …”
