Prevalence of white matter hyperintensity in young clinical patients

American Journal of Roentgenology May 14, 2019

Wang ML, et al. - In young clinical outpatients, researchers studied the prevalence of white matter hyperintensity (WMH) without specific causes. The investigation included a total of 1249 young clinical outpatients who had an unenhanced head MRI examination between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2016. Logistic regression has been used to identify the best predictors of WMH patient characteristics. Data reported that WMH's overall prevalence was 25.94%. In young clinical patients, WMH is frequently found. Most of the WMH is the mild type and is mainly found in white subcortical frontal and parietal matter. Risk factors for WMH were older age and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Clinical patients with dizziness and light-headedness were more likely to have WMH than participants without neurological symptoms, which was attributed to older age and CVD.
