چکیده
OBJECTIVE There is a need for a cognitive function screening test that can be administered to patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in clinic. The objectives of this study were to determine (1) prevalence of cognitive impairment (CI) in SLE by the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), in relation to the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised (HVLT-R), and Perceived Deficits Questionnaire 5-Item (PDQ-5); and (2) associated factors with CI. METHODS Consecutive patients followed at a single center were recruited. HVLT-R, MoCA, and MMSE were administered. Sensitivity/specificity, positive (PPV)/negative (NPV) predictive values, and positive likelihood ratio (LR+) of MoCA/MMSE were determined (compared to HVLT-R). A test on intellectual ability and questionnaires on anxiety, depression, and perceived cognitive deficits were completed. Regression analyses determined associations with CI. RESULTS Of 98 patients, 48% had CI using MoCA and 31% using HVLT-R. Sensitivity was higher for MoCA (73%) compared to MMSE (27%), though MMSE was more specific (90%) than MoCA (63%). PPV and LR+ were similar in MoCA and MMSE (PPV: 47%, 53%; LR+: 2.0, 2.6, respectively), but NPV was higher in MoCA (84%) than MMSE (74%). PDQ-5 predicted objective CI (HVLT-R: sensitivity 100%, specificity 89%). Although CI was associated with depression in univariate analyses, it did not hold in the multivariate analysis, while longer SLE disease duration and more years of education remained significant. CONCLUSION CI is highly prevalent and MoCA may be a useful tool to screen for CI in SLE. Patients with more years of education were less likely to have CI.
