Journal Article
Study of cognitive functions in major idiopathic interstitial pneumonias
2020
Overview
Background
Cognitive dysfunction in idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP) is an important clinical co-morbidity that is associated with impaired lung function.
The aim of the work
is to assess cognitive function in major IIP and to find out the relation between cognitive dysfunction and the oxygenation parameters.
Results
Fifty individuals were involved in the study; 30 patients with major IIP and 20 healthy individuals. Patients with IIP had significantly lower mini mental state examination (MMSE) score compared to the control group (
P
< 0.001). Wechsler Deterioration Index (WDI) revealed that 33.3% (
n
= 10) of the patients with IIP had sure cognitive impairment and 26.6% (
n
= 8) had ongoing cognitive deterioration. Patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) had lower cognitive function than other IIP.
Conclusion
There is an impairment of cognitive function in patients with major IIP, particularly in IPF, as measured by WDI and MMSE. Further large studies are needed to assess the possible predictors of cognitive impairment and their effects on the patients’ outcome.
