Objective: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the prevalence of cognitive impairment in adult patients with MMD as well as its clinical and demographic correlates. Methods: We performed a systematic search of four electronic databases: PubMed (MEDLINE), EMBASE, Scopus, and Cochrane Library, profiling studies from inception until 7 May 2023. Clinical data consisting of population characteristics, comorbidities, cognitive assessment tools used, and prevalence of cognitive impairment was extracted. Results: Seventeen studies were included in the meta-analysis, with a total study population of 1,190 patients. All studies assessed cognition, and the overall prevalence of cognitive impairment in MMD patients was 54.59%. A subgroup analysis identified that the prevalence of executive dysfunction in MMD patients was 31.55%. We performed a meta-regression analysis which identified that cognitive impairment was not associated with age, education level, or a history of ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke. Conclusions: A substantial proportion of MMD patients have cognitive impairment, and cognitive impairment was found to have no association with a history of stroke. Further research is necessary to investigate the longitudinal relationship of MMD and cognitive impairment, and the impact of bypass surgery on cognitive impairment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/jad-230979","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,12]],"date-time":"2023-12-12T11:37:33Z","timestamp":1702381053000},"page":"541-552","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Prevalence
