Intrinsic prefrontal functional connectivity according to cognitive impairment in patients with end-stage renal disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aimed to investigate differences in intrinsic prefrontal functional connectivity according to the presence of cognitive impairment in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS).

Methods

We prospectively enrolled 37 patients with ESRD who had been undergoing hemodialysis for more than 6 months and had no history of neurological or psychiatric disorders. All patients with ESRD underwent the Korean version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA-K) to assess cognitive function. The NIRSIT Lite device (OBELAB Inc.) was used to acquire fNIRS data, and the NIRSIT Lite Analysis Tool program was used to process the data and generate a functional connectivity matrix. We obtained functional connectivity mea
