About The Study: The International Society for Vascular Behavioural and Cognitive Disorders (VasCog)-2- World Stroke Organization (WSO) criteria update the VasCog criteria for the diagnosis of vascular cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID), providing operationalization and additional guidance on potential neuroimaging and fluid biomarkers. VasCog-2-WSO should provide an international standard for VCID diagnosis, facilitating diagnostic consistency among clinicians and researchers.
