Presence of one or more gross chronic cerebral infarctions, determined by neuropathologic evaluations performed at Rush, blinded to clinical data, and reviewed by a board-certified neuropathologist.
Examination of infarcts documents age (acute/subacute/chronic), size, and location (side and region) of infarcts visible to the naked eye on fixed slabs. All grossly visualized and suspected macroscopic infarcts are dissected for histologic confirmation.
