Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Our primary analysis will be to calculate the mean change in MMSE score and cognitive test battery (Stroop, Letter Digit Coding Test and Picture Learning, Immediate and Delayed) after initiation of RRT. To determine whether this change in cognitive function is attributable to the initiation of RRT, we will compare these change to 1) change in MMSE score and cognitive and functional test battery in those older patients who did not initiate RRT in two consecutive years (n=200), 2) change in MMSE score and cognitive and functional test battery in the individuals who did initiate RRT in two consecutive years prior to start of RRT. 3) the association between the change in MMSE score and cognitive and functional test battery after initiation of RRT with various parameters of brain structure (measures of vascular cognitive impairment) or perfusion (measures of auto-regulation) at baseline. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Our secondary analysis will be: 1) to evaluate the correlation between the results of CGA and cognitive test battery and cardiovascular markers and disease, metabolic parameters, and (the rate of decline) of eGFR. 2) Correlation between outcome of CGA and the impact of disease on quality of life. | — |
