abstract = {Inferior frontal sulcal hyperintensities (IFSH) observed on
fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) MRI have been
proposed as indicators of elevated cerebrospinal fluid waste
accumulation in cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD).
However, to validate IFSH as a reliable imaging biomarker,
further replication studies are required. The objective of
this study was to investigate associations between IFSH and
CSVD, and their potential repercussions, i.e., cognitive
impairment and depression. We prospectively recruited 47
patients with CSVD and 29 cognitively normal controls (NC).
IFSH were rated visually based on FLAIR MRI. Using different
regression models, we explored the relationship between
IFSH, group status (CSVD vs. NC), CSVD severity assessed
with MRI, cognitive function, and symptoms of depression.
Patients with CSVD were more likely to have higher IFSH
scores compared to NC (OR 5.64, $95\%$ CI 1.91-16.60), and
greater CSVD severity on MRI predicted more severe IFSH (OR
1.47, $95\%$ CI 1.14-1.88). Higher IFSH scores were
associated with lower cognitive function (-0.96, $95\%$ CI
-1.81 to -0.10), and higher levels of depression (0.33,
$95\%$ CI 0.01-0.65). CSVD and IFSH may be tightly linked to
each other, and the accumulation of waste products,
indicated by IFSH, could have detrimental effects on
cognitive function and symptoms of depression.},
