The two cohorts were matched for cerebrovascular risk factors, and the prevalence of atherosclerosis in major intracranial and extracranial arteries was compared in 755 matched pairs. Moreover, traditional, hepatic, and coronary variables related to cerebral atherosclerosis were assessed in cirrhotic patients.Results: Overall, intracranial atherosclerosis was significantly less prevalent in the LC group than in the matched control group (2.3% vs. 5.4%, P=0.002), whereas the prevalence of extracranial atherosclerosis was similar (4.4% vs. 5.8%, P=0.242). These results were maintained in multivariate analyses of the pooled samples, with corresponding adjusted odds ratios [ORs] of LC of 0.56 and 0.77 (95% confidence intervals [CIs], 0.36\u20130.88 and 0.55\u20131.09). In the LC group, lower platelet count was inversely correlated with intracranial atherosclerosis (adjusted OR, 0.31; 95% CI, 0.13\u20130.76). Coronary artery calcium (CAC) score \u2265100 was the only predictive factor for both intracranial and extracranial atherosclerosis (adjusted ORs, 4.06 and 5.43, respectively).Conclusions: LC confers protection against intracranial atherosclerosis, and thrombocytopenia may be involved in this protective effect. High CAC score could serve as a potential surrogate for cervicocerebral vascular screening in asymptomatic cirrhotic patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3350\/cmh.2021.0202","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,12]],"date-time":"2021-10-12T23:28:13Z","timestamp":1634081293000},"page":"67-76","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3350\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Cervicocerebral atherosclerosis and its hepatic and coronary risk factors in patients with liver cirrhosis"],"prefix":"10.3350","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"Jihyun","family":"An","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hyung-Don","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Seon-Ok","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ha Il","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gi-Won","family":"Song","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Han Chu","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7336-1371","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ju Hyun","family":"Shim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1902","reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3748\/wjg.v20.i42.15499"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/hep.510280107"},{"key":"ref3","first-page":"114","volume-title":"Cerebral autoregulation in patients with cirrhosis and ascites.
