PG - 286-294 LID - S1071-9164(20)30954-4 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.cardfail.2020.09.007 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Older adults with acute decompensated heart failure have persistently poor clinical outcomes. Cognitive impairment (CI) may be a contributing factor. However, the prevalence of CI and the relationship of cognition with other patient-centered factors such a physical function and quality of life (QOL) that also may contribute to poor outcomes are incompletely understood. METHODS AND RESULTS: Older (>/=60 years) hospitalized patients with acute decompensated heart failure were assessed for cognition (Montreal Cognitive Assessment [MoCA]), physical function (Short Physical Performance Battery [SPPB], 6-minute walk distance [6MWD]), and QOL (Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire, Short Form-12). Among patients (N = 198, 72.1 +/- 7.6 years), 78% screened positive for CI (MoCA of <26) despite rare medical record documentation (2%). Participants also had severely diminished physical function (SPPB 6.0 +/- 2.5 units, 6MWD 186 +/- 100 m) and QOL (scores of <50). MoCA positively related to SPPB (ss = 0.47, P < .001), 6MWD ss = 0.01, P = .006) and inversely related to Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire Overall Score (ss = -0.05, P < .002) and Short Form-12 Physical Component Score (ss = -0.09, P = .006). MoCA was a small but significant predictor of the results on the SPPB, 6MWD, and Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire. CONCLUSIONS: Among older hospitalized patients with acute decompensated heart failure, CI is highly prevalent, is underrecognized clinically, and is associated with severe physical dysfunction and poor QOL. Formal screening may reduce adverse events by identifying patients who may require more tailored care. CI - Copyright (c) 2020 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
