Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) was performed to calculate BEN and RSFC. Neuropsychological assessments and clinical indicator collection were conducted. PD patients were divided into mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and non-cognitive impairment (NCI) groups using Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scores.

Compared with HCs, PD patients had decreased BEN in the right middle occipital gyrus and left caudate nucleus, and increased BEN in the left middle temporal gyrus and right fusiform gyrus. Reduced RSFC was found between the right middle occipital gyrus and the right fusiform gyrus, right middle frontal gyrus, and right precuneus in PD patients. BEN and RSFC values were correlated with emotional scale scores, cognitive scale subscores, and clinical indicators (e.g., glycosylated hemoglobin, transferrin saturation).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Patients with end-stage kidney disease undergoing peritoneal dialysis present abnormal brain entropy and functional connectivity patterns.
