About this study

Official title: The Cohort Study of Cognitive Impairment and Its Association With Clinical Outcomes in Chinese Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients

This study is going to apply neuropsychological battery tests to measure cognitive function across multiple cognitive domains in our cohort of 600 maintenance hemodialysis patients and evaluate:

  1. The presence and patterns of cognitive impairment in domains of executive function, perceptual-motor function, language, learning and memory, and complex attention;
  2. Clinical characteristics of participants with and without cognitive impairment;
  3. the risk factors which might be related to cognitive impairment in this group of population;
  4. The association between cognitive impairment and all-cause mortality, stroke and non-fatal cardiovascular events;

We hypothesize that hemodialysis patient is going to have cognitive impairment which might be associated with some risk factors. We also anticipate that cognitive impairment might have some kind of association with the clinical outcomes like all-cause mortality, stroke and other common clinical outcomes that we mentioned above.

Read the detailed description

Neuropsychological assessment All neuropsychological assessments were performed by the research staff that was centrally trained and certified by the study neuropsychologist to conduct the assessments before study commencement. All research staff and patients were native Chinese speakers. Neuropsychological assessment was conducted individually in a separate room on the day after a dialysis session and required on average approximately 90 minutes. Global cognitive function was screened by the Chinese Beijing version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA-BJ).10 The comprehensive battery of neuropsychological tests was designed to assess five cognitive domains: (1) attention/processing speed, using Symbol Digit Modalities Test and the Chinese modified version of the Trail Making Test A,11,12(2) executive function, using the Chinese modified version of the Trail Making Tests B , and a modified version of the Stroop Color-Word Test;13 (3) verbal memory, using the Chinese version of the Auditory Verbal Learning Test for short-delay and long-delay free recall14 and Complex Figure for visual memory (delayed recall test; Chinese version);12 (4) language, using the Chinese modified versions of Boston Naming Test (the 30-item version) and Animal Fluency Test;15,16and (5) visuospatial function, using the Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure (copy test).17,18 Depression was assessed using the Hamilton Depression Scale, with scores ranging from 0 to 63 and a score of 7 or above suggested as the optimal cutoff for suspected depression.

Normal cognitive functionThe cognitive impairment classification algorithm We classified subjects as having no, mild, or major cognitive impairment using criteria from the fifth version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V) as a guideline.20 The age and/or education-adjusted raw score of each individual cognitive test was calculated and compared with the age and/or education-adjusted published norms for Chinese populations.14 Specifically, age- and education-adjusted scores less than 1.5 standard deviations (SDs) below the adjusted mean of the published population norms on all tests in all domains indicated no cognitive impairment; scores of 1.50 to 1.99 SDs and 2.0 or more SDs below the adjusted mean of the published norms on at least one test in at least one domain indicated mild cognitive impairment and major cognitive impairment, respectively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cognitive Impairment and Hemodialysis Complication, run by Beijing Shijitan Hospital, Capital Medical University at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jul 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

cognitive function (time frame: This measurement is going to be completed within 3 months after the first participant enrolls.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03251573, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Jul 2019.
