Cerebral microbleed burden is associated with domain-specific cognitive impairment pattern in acute stroke

Key Points

• The research aims to explore the relationship between cerebral microbleed burden and cognitive impairments in acute stroke patients.
• Analyzed the association of CMB burden with cognitive performance in acute stroke patients.
• Focused on mixed and deep distributions of CMB.
• Used cognitive testing to identify specific domain impairments.
• Found a significant association between CMB burden and specific cognitive domain impairments.
• Mixed and deep distributions of CMB were particularly linked to cognitive risks.
