Prediction model for cognitive impairment in maintenance hemodialysis patients: the role of diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The aim of this study was to identify risk factors for cognitive impairment (CI) in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients and to develop a predictive model.

Methods

A total of 151 MHD patients from our hospital were recruited between July 2020 and April 2021. Sociodemographic, clinical, and laboratory data were collected. Cognitive function was assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), whereas physical performance was evaluated using handgrip strength, the Timed Up and Go Test (TUGT), and 4-m gait speed. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses identified risk factors, which were used to develop original and simplified predictive models.

Results

CI was present in 43 patients (28.5%). The simplified model demonstrated discrimi
