Other unclassified factors influencing cognitive functions.

Factors Studied Population CI Measures Ref.
Factors correlating with CI were identified: Educational level (OR 2.234), spKt/V (OR 1.982), Post-dialysis diastolic blood (OR 1.982). 219 HD * MoCA [69]
Identified correlates: socio-economic status and global cognition score (χ2 = 81.13, df = 48, p = 0.002), education level and orientation (χ2 = 29.78, df = 8, p = 0.000), recall (χ2 = 31.7, df = 12, p = 0.002). A negative correlation was found between dialysis vintage (r = −0.411, p = 0.003), depression (r = −0.721, p <0.01) and cognitive function. 50 HD MoCA
Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9)
[70]
A positive correlations was found between cognitive function and years of education (r = 0.52, p ≤ 0.001), dialysis vintage (r = 0.26, p ≤ 0.001). 99 HD Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination-Revised (ACE-R) [71]
Educational level (odd ratio = 0.564, p = 0.031), anemia (odd ratio = 0.743; p = 0.046)
assiociated with cognitive functions.
108 HD MMSE [72]
Sleep quality (OR 10.709 p = 0.002)
independently associated with CI.
106 HD British Columbia Cognitive Complaints Inventory [73]
Less physically active patients assiociated with CI. 102 HD MMSE [74]

* HD—group of hemodialysis patients; MMSE—Mini-Mental State Exam, MoCA—Montreal Cognitive Assessment.
