Correlates and outcomes of dementia among dialysis patients: the Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study.
Nephrol Dial Transplant. 2006; (9): 2543-8
Recent studies suggest a high prevalence of cognitive impairment and dementia in persons with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), yet risk factors for dementia and its prognostic significance in persons with ESRD remain unclear. The goals of this study were to determine the prevalence, correlates and dialysis-related outcomes of dementia in an international sample of haemodialysis patients.
