Prevalence of white matter hyperintensities and radiological cerebral small vessel disease: an insight from routinely collected data
We demonstrate a prevalence of radiological cSVD comparable to the wider literature in elderly patients whilst highlighting the potential underestimation of cSVD in the younger population, in whom further study of WMHs is required. There is potential for routinely collected data to define the prevalence and characteristics of radiological cSVD more accurately whilst facilitating further research.
