Early & late cerebrovascular biomarkers: Operationalization of cut‐points and temporal progression
We developed cut-points for diffusion MRI markers using classification of VCI based on Fazekas scale and CDR. Cut-points from the accuracy young referent (VCI+ vs. 30-49 yrs VCI-) outperformed the accuracy age-/sex-matched referent (VCI+ vs. age-/sex-matched VCI-), suggesting that older VCI- individuals may have unmeasured CeVD changes. Diffusion MRI markers progressed earlier relative to WMH, highlighting their potential for early detection, improved clinical assessment, and targeted interventions.
