Cognitive and academic outcomes in children with chronic kidney disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Few data exist on the cognitive and academic functioning of children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) over the trajectory of their illness. We aimed to determine the association between CKD stages and cognitive and academic performance in children over time.

Methods

We included 53 participants (aged 6-18 years) with CKD stages 1-5 (n = 37), on dialysis (n = 3), or with functioning kidney transplant (n = 22) from three units in Australia from 2015 to 2019. Participants undertook a series of psychometric tests and were invited for repeated assessments annually. We used linear regression and linear mixed models to investigate the effect of CKD stage, adjusted for socioeconomic status.

Results

At baseline, full-scale intelligence quotient (FSIQ) (95%CI) of chi
