    Background Children with chronic kidney disease and on kidney replacement therapy may have neurocognitive and psychosocial disorders. Although kidney transplantation improves quality of life, psychological problems may exist in children who undergo kidney transplantation. Herein, we aimed to investigate attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder-like symptoms with MOXO-continuous performance test in children with pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease, dialysis and kidney transplantation. Methods The MOXO-continuous performance test measures four domains of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder-like symptoms, including attention, timeliness, hyperactivity and impulsivity. Patients with at least three scores < - 1.5 standard deviations were considered as positive to MOXO-continuous performance test. Test scores of the pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease, dialysis (divided into peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis subgroups) and kidney transplantation groups were compared. Correlations of test scores with the patient's clinical and laboratory characteristics and effects of hospitalizations and schooling were assessed. Results Seventy-two patients aged 13.3 +/- 3.4 years (23 with kidney transplantation, 23 on dialysis and 26 with pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease) were evaluated. Overall MOXO-continuous performance test positivity was 29%. No differences were detected between the three groups concerning total or z scores. Attention and timeliness z scores were significantly higher in females (p = 0.004 and p = 0 .008 , respectively). Age was positively correlated to attention and timeliness total scores (p = 0.000, r = 0.445 and p = 0.004, r = 0.243, respectively), and inversely correlated to hyperactivity total scores (p = 0.000, r = - 0.415). Conclusions Prevalence of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder-like symptoms in the study population was much higher than that of pediatric attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. We believe that the MOXO-continuous performance test is a valid supportive measure for evaluation of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder diagnosis in children with various stages of chronic kidney disease or on kidney replacement therapy.

    Associations between nutritional factors and excessive daytime sleepiness in older patients with chronic kidney disease
    (2021) Heybeli, Cihan; Soysal, Pinar; Oktan, Mehmet Asi; Smith, Lee; Celik, Ali; Kazancioglu, Rumeyza; 0000-0001-7903-1106; 34448151; AHC-6473-2022
    Background Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is prevalent in not only older adults, but also patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and is associated with higher risks of morbidity and mortality. Aims The aim of the present study is to determine associations between EDS and nutritional status and serum nutrient levels in older patients with CKD. Methods This cross-sectional study included 367 patients (aged >= 65 years) with CKD (eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73 m(2) and/or > 30 mg/day of albuminuria for > 3 months). EDS was recorded using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (a score of >= 11). Malnutrition was diagnosed according to the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) tool (a score of < 17). Results The mean age was 81 +/- 7 years, and 248 (67%) were female. EDS was seen in 99 (26.9%) patients. Those with EDS had significantly lower MNA scores and more frequent malnutrition than those without EDS (p < 0.05). In multivariable analysis adjusted for age, sex, cerebrovascular disease, dementia, number of drugs, and number of urinations at night, and the Charlson Comorbidity Index the relationship between malnutrition and EDS persisted (OR 2.58, 95% CI 1.38-4.83, p = 0.003). There was no significant difference between the presence of EDS and serum levels or deficiencies of vitamin D, vitamin B-12, and folate (p > 0.05). Conclusions EDS is associated with malnutrition in older patients with CKD. Therefore, EDS and nutritional status should be evaluated together in clinical practice. However, future studies are needed to determine the direction of the association between malnutrition and EDS and to evaluate if dietary intervention can improve EDS.
