Description
Frederick Chan and co-authors validate in this 2024 study a slightly longer questionnaire for catching thinking troubles in dialysis patients. Memory and thinking faults are common on dialysis and harm health, but full testing takes time and trained staff. The short scale they extend has three items; the team adds a memory question that the original lacked and tests the four-item form on 268 patients in Singapore.
The extended scale held together as one factor with good consistency. It flagged objective impairment fairly and self-reported complaints better, and it beat the original at predicting daily function faults and missed treatment. The authors offer it as a workable screen for busy kidney units.
