摘要

Introduction: Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is a rare, but increasingly recognised cerebrovascular condition with an estimated annual age-standardised incidence of approximately three cases per million. Knowledge about risk factors and triggering conditions and information about prognosis and optimal treatment in these patients are limited. Methods: The REversible cerebral Vasoconstriction syndrome intERnational CollaborativE (REVERCE) project aims to elucidate the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of RCVS by collecting individual patient data from four countries (France, Italy, Taiwan and South Korea) in the setting of a multicentric study. All patients with a diagnosis of definite RCVS will be included. Data on the distribution of risk factors and triggering conditions, imaging data, neurological complications, functional outcome, risk of recurrent vascular events and death and finally the use of specific treatments will be collected. Subgroup analyses will be made based on age, gender, aetiology, ethnicity and geographical region of residence. Ethics and dissemination: Ethical approval for the REVERCE study will be obtained from national or local institutional review boards in the participating centres. When needed, a standardised data transfer agreement will be provided for participating centres. We plan dissemination of our results in peer-reviewed international scientific journals and through conference presentations. We expect that the results of this unique study will lead to better understanding of clinical and epidemiological characteristics of RCVS patients.
