<p>SPIRIT checklist, February 2026.</p>

A prospective cohort study protocol designed to characterize the acute and longitudinal neurological effects of sexual strangulation. The study, authored by Keisuke Kawata and last updated in April 2026, plans to enroll 200 young adult females and a pilot cohort of 40 males for multimodal assessments over 30 months. Data collection includes blood biomarkers, MRI, cognitive testing, retinal imaging, and mental health evaluations.

Use Cases

• Analyze baseline neurological health differences between exposed and control groups based on the planned cohort design.
• Model associations between cumulative strangulation exposure and neural integrity over time based on the longitudinal follow-up schedule.
• Characterize contextual factors and consent dynamics of sexual strangulation based on the semi-structured interview data described.

Strengths

• Study protocol outlines a clear prospective cohort design with 200 female participants and a 40-male pilot cohort.
• Multimodal assessment plan includes blood biomarkers, MRI, cognitive testing, and mental health evaluations over a 30-month period.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
