ABSTRACT
Despite recommendations, cognitive screening in patients with end stage kidney disease (ESKD) rarely happens, leading to underestimates of cognitive impairment (CI) prevalence and missed opportunities for intervention. We aimed to describe CI prevalence and associated factors in 100 patients receiving in-center hemodialysis aged 50 years and older. Cognitive function was measured using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). Descriptive analysis techniques characterized the sample and estimated mean scores. Non-parametric and parametric tests explored relationships among MoCA scores and other patient factors. Of the 100 patients, 32% had normal cognitive function, 56% mild CI, and 12% moderate CI. Age, income, and education level significantly corelated with cognitive function in our sample. Identifying clinical factors and appropriate follow up for abnormal screening are crucial next steps in managing cognitive impairment in patients with ESKD receiving in-center hemodialysis.
