Key result
Intradialytic cognitive and exercise training may possibly prevent cognitive decline in psychomotor speed and executive function in hemodialysis patients (p=0.16 for ET).
Why the study?
Does intradialytic cognitive and exercise training preserve cognitive function in hemodialysis patients?
Does intradialytic cognitive and exercise training preserve cognitive function in hemodialysis patients?
p-value: p=0.16
Preliminary findings suggest that intradialytic cognitive and exercise training may prevent cognitive decline in psychomotor speed and executive function in hemodialysis patients.
Does not support routine intradialytic training for cognitive preservation in hemodialysis; leaves open benefit in larger trials.
Introduction: Cognitive decline is common and increases mortality risk in hemodialysis patients. Intradialytic interventions like cognitive training (CT) and exercise training (ET) may preserve cognitive function. Methods: values were generated from linear regression. Results: = 0.16) for ET. Conclusion: Preliminary findings of our pilot study suggested that cognitive decline in psychomotor speed and executive function is possibly prevented by intradialytic CT and ET. These preliminary pilot findings should be replicated.

McAdams‐DeMarco et al. (2017) studied Hemodialysis. Intradialytic cognitive training (CT) and exercise training (ET) was evaluated on Cognitive decline in psychomotor speed and executive function (p=0.16). Intradialytic cognitive and exercise training may possibly prevent cognitive decline in psychomotor speed and executive function in hemodialysis patients (p=0.16 for ET).
