Association of imaging markers and overall burden of cerebral small vessel disease with cognition in COMPASS‐ND

Abstract

Background: Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is the most common cause of vascular cognitive impairment, but its relationship to cognition across the neurocognitive spectrum is not fully understood. CSVD burden can be inferred from several magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) markers, which can be combined to generate a CSVD score.
