Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the application of Addenbrooke′s cognitive examination revised(ACE?R)scale to evaluate cognitive function in patients with chronic kidney disease(CKD). Methods We used ACE?R scale to evaluate the cognitive function on 205 cases of CKD patients received outpatient and inpatient treatment in renal Department of four hospitals in Nanjing. One?way ANOVA analysis ,receiver operating characteristic (ROC)curve and other statistical methods were adopted to compare differences. Results (1)There is significant difference of ACE?R scale scores among group NC?NCDs(89.18 ± 4.80),group Mild?NCDs(77.28 ± 5.80)and group Major?NCDs(55.90 ± 10.90)(F = 292.28,P < 0.01). There is significant difference between any two groups(all P<0.01).(2)(ACE?R)scale(AUC=0.944,P<0.01)showed significantly higher sensitivity than mini?mental state examination(MMSE)scale(AUC = 0.777,P < 0.01)on identifying Mild?NCDs patients with chronic kidney disease(P < 0.01);(3)The optimal cut?off value of total ACE?R score between group NC?NCDs and group Mild?NCDs was 83/84,(sensitivity 88.00%,specificity 85.90%,Youden index 0.739),the optimal cut?off value between group Mild?NCDs and group Major?NCDs was 83/84(sensitivity 89.70%,specificity 96.10%, Youden index 0.858). Conclusion ACE?R possesses a good ability in distinguishing different severity of cognitive impairment in patients with CKD. ACE?R can effectively identify early mild cognitive impairment ,which is suitable for clinical application as a tool to evaluating and studying of cognitive function in patients with CKD.
