Microstructural damage of normal-appearing white matter in subcortical ischemic vascular dementia is associated with Montreal Cognitive Assessment scores

摘要

This study was performed to determine whether multimodal biomarkers are more strongly associated with the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scores compared with the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores, and whether they are correlated with the Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) in patients with subcortical ischemic vascular dementia (SIVD).
