| Abstract |
Vascular cognitive impairment (VCI), compared to vascular dementia (VD), has a broader definition and highlights the effect of vascular disease in dementia, and stroke seems play an important role in the development of VCI. However, not all patients with brain infarcts suffer from VCI; unique risk factors appear to cause such progression. This study aimed to find potential risk factors of vascular cognitive impairment among patients with brain infarcts. Thirty-seven dementia patients and 74 brain infarction patients were included; all had infarcts in both basilar ganglia. The frequencies of risk factors, such as age, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia, were compared between the two groups. The incident rate of hyperlipidemia in the patients with dementia was 35.14%, which was significantly lower than that in the patients with infarction (59.46%, P = 0.015). In the dementia group, there was a positive correlation between the ratio of apoprotein B (apoB)/low density lipoprotein (LDL) and the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) score (R = 0.411, P = 0.011). Our study indicated that the ratio of apoB/LDL may be a potential clinical index for vascular cognitive impairment. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 7. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 02 December 2016.
All research outputs
#4,196,076
of 22,903,988 outputs
Outputs from BMC Neurology
#497
of 2,446 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#81,801
of 415,675 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Neurology
#14
of 38 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,903,988 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 80th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,446 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.7. This one has done well, scoring higher than 76% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 415,675 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 78% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 38 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 60% of its contemporaries.
