Note:—SAs indicates signal abnormalities; SAN, signal abnormality number; JC, juxtacortical; PVL, periventricular; IT, infratentorial; DWM, deep white matter; SAV, signal abnormality volume.
Differences between the groups were compared by means of the χ2 test or Mann-Whitney U test.
The SAV is expressed in millimeters cubed (mm3).
↵a DAWM calculation was not related to the size of the hyperintensities.
