Periventricular and deep white matter leukoaraiosis have a closer association with cerebral microbleeds than age

Abstract

High-grade PVH, high-grade DWMH, ICH, and atherosclerotic infarction were significantly independent predictors for cerebral microbleeds. In addition, we found that the grades of PVH and DWMH have a closer association with the number of cerebral microbleeds than age.
