No demographic or clinicopathological differences were found between FTP-positive and FTP-negative cases. High intra-reader reproducibility (α = 0.83) was noted.DISCUSSIONFTP PET imaging did not show a specific uptake pattern for PART diagnosis, indicating that in vivo PART identification using FTP PET is challenging.

Older age and small vessel disease (SVD) lesions were baseline risk factors for IILs. IILs were associated with worse cognitive (beta for global cognition: -0.31, 95% confidence interval [CI]: -0.48 to -0.14) and functional outcomes (beta for modified Rankin scale [mRS]: 0.36, 95% CI: 0.14 to 0.58), and higher recurrent stroke risk (hazard ratio: 3.81, 95% CI: 1.35 to 10.69).

IILs 6 months after stroke are present in one-sixth of patients and are mostly clinically silent. Small vessel disease burden is the main baseline risk factor for IILs.
