About this trial
The goal of this single-center prospective observational study is to identify and evaluate new biomarkers for ischemic cerebrovascular disease (ICVD) to aid in early diagnosis, individualized treatment planning, and prognosis prediction in affected patients. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Can specific biomarkers help in identifying high-risk individuals before disease onset? Can these biomarkers predict disease progression and treatment response? Researchers will compare patients diagnosed with ICVD and healthy controls from a medical check-up center to assess differences in biomarker expression and their clinical significance.
Participants will:
Provide blood, cerebrospinal fluid, urine, and stool samples for biomarker analysis.
Undergo clinical imaging (CT, MRI, PET-CT) and functional assessments. Be followed up at 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, and 48 months for clinical outcomes and biomarker changes.
This study aims to develop a comprehensive biomarker-based prediction model to enhance the diagnosis and management of ischemic cerebrovascular disease.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
all-cause mortality
Death during the follow-up in every single reason
Stroke of any kind
Brain CT or MRI scans will be used to measure whether there is any kind of stroke, including TIA, ischemic stroke, and hemorrhage
Secondary outcomes
Rehospitalization
The rehospitalized times of any circumstances except for admission to hospital only for examination per year will be used to measure the situation
National Institute of Health stroke scale (NIHSS score)
The minimum value is 0, and maximum value is 42, and higher scores mean a worse outcome.
modified Ranking score (mRS)
The minimum value is 0, and maximum value is 6, and higher scores mean a worse outcome.
