Population-based study analyses the link between CT-assessed calcification and dementia risk, highlighting predictive value differences.
We aimed to analyse the association between intracranial arterial calcification on computed tomography (CT-IAC) and dementia in patients with minor stroke/transient ischaemic attack (TIA) independent of initial stroke severity and recurrent stroke. We also sought to compare the predictive value of CT-IAC assessed using visual scales versus a quantitative method, and to analyse the effect of calcification subtypes.
