    A novel acute-phase clinical phenotyping method categorizes CVST patients into three phenotypes: Benign Intracranial Hypertension, Focal Brain Injury, and Diffuse Brain Injury.

  • 2

    The study found a significant gradient of cognitive impairment and return-to-work rates across the three phenotypes, indicating varying long-term outcomes.

  • 3

    Focal and Diffuse Brain Injury phenotypes were identified as independent predictors of cognitive impairment compared to the Benign phenotype.

  • 4

    The Diffuse Brain Injury phenotype was linked to higher rates of depressive symptoms and significantly reduced odds of returning to work.

  • 5

    The study emphasizes the need for prompt, multidisciplinary intervention for patients with the Diffuse Brain Injury phenotype to improve long-term outcomes.
