small vessel disease, CAA, cerebral amyloid angiopathy, hypertensive arteriopathy, deep perforator arteriopathy, CADASIL
Brief summary
Prognosis of small vessel disease (SVD) depends on the underlying type of SVD and index manifestation. The aim of this prospective, observational cohort study is to determine the risk of different outcome events among patients with SVD according to the type of index presentation.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Hypertensive deep perforator arteriolopathy (DPA), clinically symptomatic with either ICH, ischaemic stroke, cognitive impairment or severe radiological manifestation (Fazekas ≥II) * Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA according to modified Boston or Edinburgh criteria), clinically symptomatic with either ICH (including cSAH), amyloid spells, cognitive impairment or severe radiological manifestation (CMB≥2) * Other SVD (i.e. CADASIL or other sporadic or genetic SVD)
Exclusion criteria

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) | 1 year | Non-traumatic, intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH, including convexity subarachnoid haemorrhage) |
| Ischaemic stroke | 1 year | Defined by CT and/or MRI |
| Cardio-vascular death | 1 year | According to the treating physician |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| New-onset of extracranial vascular disease | 1 year | As judged by the treating physician |
| Other intracranial bleeding | 1 year | Subdural haematoma, subarachnoid haemorrhage |
| Functional outcome | 1 year | Modified Rankin scale score (ordinal score, range 0-6, a score of 0 corresponds to no symptoms at all, while a score of 6 corresponds to death) |
| Other (transient) neurological attacks | 1 year | Including transient ischaemic attack (TIA), transient neurological attack (TNA), amyloid spells, (focal) seizures |
| Cognitive impairment | 1 year | Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA, range 0-30 points) \< 26 points (corresponding to impaired cognitive function) and/or new impairment in activities of daily living as defined by the treating physician. |
