Xin Guo482 enrolled

Overview

The investigators continuously collected data from 482 AIS inpatients at the Neurology Department of Hebei General Hospital. Both demographic and clinical data were collected from the study subjects. Different head magnetic resonance imaging sequences were used to assess the subjects' CMBs, white matter lesions, and old lacunar infarcts (LI). Various statistical methods, including the t-test, χ2 test, and logistic regression, were used to analyze the gender heterogeneity of the influencing factors for CMBs in AIS patients.
