Abstract |
<p><b><i>Background</i></b><b>-—</b>Research links blood pressure variability (BPV) with stroke; however, the association with cerebral small-vessel disease (CSVD) remains unclear. As BPV and mean blood pressure are interrelated, it remains uncertain whether BPV adds additional information to understanding cerebrovascular morphological characteristics.</p>
<p><b><i>Methods and Results</i></b><b>-—</b>A systematic review was performed from inception until March 3, 2019. Eligibility criteria included population, adults without stroke (<4 weeks); exposure, BPV quantified by any metric over any duration; comparison, (1) low versus high or mean BPV and (2) people with versus without CSVD; and outcomes, (1) CSVD as subcortical infarct, lacunae, white matter hyperintensities, cerebral microbleeds, or enlarged perivascular spaces; and (2) standardized mean difference in BPV. A total of 27 articles were meta-analyzed, comprising 12 309 unique brain scans. A total of 31 odds ratios (ORs) were pooled, indicating that higher systolic BPV was associated with higher odds for CSVD (OR, 1.27; 95% CI, 1.14–1.42; I<sup>2</sup>=85%) independent of mean systolic pressure. Likewise, higher diastolic BPV was associated with higher odds for CSVD (OR, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.14–1.48; I<sup>2</sup>=53%) independent of mean diastolic pressure. There was no evidence of a pairwise interaction between systolic/diastolic and BPV/mean ORs (<i>P</i>=0.47), nor a difference between BPV versus mean pressure ORs (<i>P</i>=0.58). Fifty-four standardized mean differences were pooled and provided similar results for pairwise interaction (<i>P</i>=0.38) and difference between standardized mean differences (<i>P</i>=0.70).</p>
<p><b><i>Conclusions</i></b><b>-—</b>On the basis of the available studies, BPV was associated with CSVD independent of mean blood pressure. However, more high-quality longitudinal data are required to elucidate whether BPV contributes unique variance to CSVD morphological characteristics.</p>
