Background: In secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS) significance of enlarged perivascular spaces (ePVS) is unknown. Objectives, Methods: Analysis of associations between vascular co-morbidities, clinical outcomes, and volumetrics with categorical ePVS scores in midbrain, basal ganglia (BG), and centrum semiovale (CSO) in SPMS(n-46). Results, Conclusion: In BG, advancing age (Z = 2.68) and lower Expanded Disability Status Scale (Z = −2.04) were associated with increasing ePVS score. In CSO, advancing age (Z = 2.66) and male gender (Z = 2.45) were associated with increasing ePVS score. No associations between ePVS score and vascular co-morbidities or volumetrics existed; ePVS may not be an informative marker for SPMS. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
