Abstract

Hypertension is one of the main health problems in Indonesia, which if not controlled will result in health, psychological, social and economic burdens. A common clinical consequence of hypertension is impaired cognitive function, namely dementia and senility, which can be examined through the Indonesian version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA-Ina). The service program which is carried out by the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Sumatera Utara (FK USU) is an examination of cognitive function and blood pressure in Padang Bulan Selayang II region. Examinations are carried out in accordance with the 2017 World Alzheimer Month and are followed by lay seminars on dementia, brain gym exercises (gerak latih otak/GLO) as well as brain teasers. The activity involved 26 participants from integrated development post (pos pembinaan terpadu/Posbindu) with a mean systolic blood pressure (TDS) 131.54 + 18.70 mmHg, mean diastolic blood pressure (TDD) 83.85 + 8.98 mmHg, mean mean arterial pressure 99, 69 + 9.47 mmHg and a mean MoCA-Ina score of22 + 5.03. Blood pressure monitoring, education of community awareness and cognitive stimulation at regular intervals are expected to prevent and reduce the incidence of hypertension, dementia and senility.

Abstract

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an independent risk factor for cognitive impairment in all domains, especially delayed memory and executive function. The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between chronic kidney disease severity and cognitive function. This study used a cross-sectional design in stage III, IV, and V CKD patients in the Nephrology Polyclinic of Haji Adam Malik Central General Hospital. Cognitive function tests were performed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA INA), digit span, and Trail Making Test A & B. The Spearman test was used to analyze the correlation between CKD severity and cognitive function. This study involved 45 chronic kidney disease patients consisting of 28 (62.2%) males and 17 (37.8%) females with a mean age of 49.67±12.18 years. The results of statistical analysis showed that there was a significant positive correlation between CKD on the MoCA-INA examination (r=0.618, p=<0.001), FDS (r=0.414, p=0.005), there was a significant negative correlation on the TMT A time examination (r=-0.425, p=0.004), TMT A error (r=-0.497, p=0.001), TMT B time (r=-0.618, p=<0.001), TMT B error (r=-0.370, p=0.012). The results of this study prove a significant correlation between the severity of CKD and cognitive function.

Abstract

Introduction: Cognitive function, which is also known as the higher cortical function, is the most important aspect in determining the independence of patient. In patients with intracranial tumors, the presence of a tumor can directly affect cognitive function which affects quality of life. Quality of life is an important component in clinical neurooncology, especially intracranial tumors in determining the independence and choice of therapeutic approach. However, research related to the relationship between cognitive function and quality of life is still minimal. Method: This study used a cross-sectional method using an observational analytic approach in patients with intracranial tumors. The study subjects were 30 intracranial tumor patients and the MoCA-INA and Barthel Index were assessed. Results: Of the 30 research subjects, the majority were female (60.0%), average age 49.8 years, university education (50.0%), and Javanese ethnicity (53.3%). Headache is the most common manifestation (83.3%). Most of the patients had tumor involvement of one lobe (63.3%), and located in the parietal lobe (63.3%). There is a significant relationship between cognitive function and quality of life of intracranial tumor patients (p = 0.012). Conclusion: There is a relationship between cognitive function and quality of life of intracranial tumor patients.
