Abstract:
Cognitive dysfunction is one of the complications of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD),often affecting the patient's daily life ability and reducing the quality of life.COPD associated cognitive dysfunction includes five areas of primary cognitive domain of awareness,attention,learning and memory ability,execution ability and language skills.The decreased cognitive dysfunction may be correlated with the age,education background,smoking,malnutrition,as well as hypoxemia,hypercapnemia,COPD duration and length of hospitalization stay,inflammatory and other factors.Early screening and assessment of COPD cognitive dysfunction,long-term oxygen therapy and other measures for interfering risk factors and improving the quality of life of patients have a positive significance.
