Cognitive transitions based on functional status in older adults with heart failure: a population-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Cognitive impairment and functional status are both important determinants of poor outcomes in heart failure (HF). However, little is known about how functional status impacts the changes in cognitive status during the disease course. This study aimed to describe the cognitive transitions in patients with HF and assess the relationship of these transitions to functional status, which was assessed by the dependency of activities of daily living (ADL).

Methods and results

This retrospective cohort study included 1764 patients with an International Classification of Diseases-10 code of HF (≥65 years, mean age 82.3 ± 7.9 years, 39% male) from a long-term care and medical insurance database from Nobeoka city, a rural city of south-western Japan.
