Results of Poisson regression with WMH subtype groups as dependent variable and lacunes on MRI as independent variable (n = 188).
| Patients with a periventricular WMH subtype without deep WMHs (n = 360) |
Patients with a periventricular WMH subtype with deep WMHs (n = 424) |
Patients with a confluent WMH subtype (n = 215) |

|---|---|---|---|
| RR (95% CI) | RR (95% CI)a | RR (95% CI)a | |
| Lacunes vs. no lacunes | 1 (reference) | 1.41 (1.22 to 1.62) | 2.41 (1.98 to 2.92) |
WMH: white matter hyperintensity; RR: relative risk; CI: confidence interval.
