Prospective analysis shows silent cerebral infarction is linked to cognitive impairment and higher stroke risk in iTTP survivors, indicating the need for better monitoring.
Key Points
Silent cerebral infarction progression leads to higher stroke risk and persistent cognitive impairment in iTTP survivors.
Among patients assessed, 28.6% showed new or progressive infarctions, with ARWMC scores increasing significantly.
Cohort study evaluated cerebrovascular risk in 42 iTTP patients, monitoring silent infarction and cognitive outcomes over 32 months.
Findings underscore the importance of treating silent cerebral infarctions to improve cognitive function and mitigate stroke risks.
