“…20 As would be expected, cognitive impairment was related to age and educational attainment. 25 As with previous research in patients with non-HNC disorders, cognitive impairment was associated with QoL in patients with HNC. [9][10][11][12][13] In particular, language and delayed recall (ie, memory) were associated with poorer QoL in multiple domains.…”

“…The MoCA is a cognitive screening instrument that takes 5 to 10 minutes to administer. The MoCA has been validated against longer neuropsychological test batteries typically used in other studies that examined cognitive function in cancer treatment . The MoCA measures the cognitive domains of executive functioning, attention and concentration, language, delayed recall, abstraction, and orientation.…”

IMPORTANCE There is a dearth of research examining the associations between cognitive function and quality of life (QoL) in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC), despite much research examining QoL and some research examining cognitive function in this population.OBJECTIVE To identify the associations between cognitive functioning and QoL in patients prior to treatment for HNC within a multidisciplinary care team. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Case series with planned data collection of cognitive function, QoL, and psychosocial variables at an urban Midwest academic medical center including 83 patients with a diagnosis of HNC between August 2015 and December 2016 who underwent a pretreatment assessment with a clinical health psychologist and a speech and language pathologist. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES At pretreatment assessment, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Head & Neck, version 4, were administered along with a semistructured interview to gather data on psychiatric symptoms, social support, and substance use. Patient demographic, clinical, and psychosocial variables were extracted via medical record review. RESULTS Of 83 patients (64 [77%] male; mean age, 59.54 [95% CI, 57.23-61.73] years), cognitive impairment was identified in 55% (n = 46) at pretreatment. Number of depressive symptoms (mean, 2.43 [95% CI, 2.06-2.89] symptoms) was associated with impairments in delayed recall (r = −0.28; 95% CI, −0.47 to −0.07) and all domains of QoL. Cognitive impairment in delayed recall was associated with lower QoL in both overall QoL and the domains of emotional and functional well-being. Current benzodiazepine use, history of heavy alcohol use, and current and past tobacco use were also associated with lower QoL in specific domains. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Cognitive impairment is common in patients with HNC and is associated with QoL and psychosocial variables. Together with previous research indicating that cognitive function and QoL can influence treatment adherence and outcomes, the results argue for the incorporation of cognitive screening and QoL assessment as part of pretreatment assessment for patients.

Context and Aims:Dysfunction of cognition and emotion is known in alcohol dependence; however, their relationship in alcohol dependence is unknown. Thus, this study aimed to know the level of emotional dysregulation and cognitive functions and their correlation in patients with alcohol dependence.Materials and Methods:In this hospital-based cross-sectional study, 120 patients with alcohol dependence were consecutively recruited and assessed with sociodemographic and clinical pro forma, Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), and Difficulty in Emotional Regulation Scale–Short Form (DERS-SF).Statistical Analysis:Descriptive statistical, Kruskal–Wallis H, and regression analysis.Results:Results revealed a mild level of cognitive impairment (mean MoCA score = 0 23.76) and high levels of emotional dysregulation (mean DERS-SF score = 0 26.90). On linear regression analysis (R2 = 0.266, df = 0 1, F = 0 42.782, P =0.000), the score on MoCA had statistically significant negative association with score on DERS-SF (P = 0.001).Conclusions:Cognitive impairment and emotional dysregulation are inversely related in patients with alcohol dependence. Improving the dysfunction may improve the outcome of alcohol dependence.

“…Studies examining the individual MoCA domains with more comprehensive and commonly used neuropsychological measures showed further support for the use of the MoCA as a cognitive screen that reflects sconstructs similar to those measured by a comprehensive battery. 47,48 Biomarkers Total cholesterol was measured at baseline using the Boehringer Mannaheim Reflotron Chemistry Analyser. 49 Blood samples for measurements of inflammatory markers and telomeres were performed by a qualified research nurse using a standardized protocol, in 2015-18.…”
