The study aims to analyze cognitive performance differences between patients receiving conservative management and those on HD in India.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This observational cross-sectional study was conducted between September 2021 and April 2023, involving 1214 end-stage CKD patients \u2013 604 on conservative therapy and 610 on HD. Neurocognitive assessment tools included the abbreviated mini\u2013mental state examination (MMSE), Addenbrooke\u2019s cognitive examination III (ACE-III), Grober and Buschke Test, Trail Making Tests, Stroop Test, and Boston Naming Test. Statistical analysis utilized the Wilcoxon and Chi-square tests for group comparisons.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The HD group demonstrated significantly lower scores in the ACE-III visuospatial domain (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.00685) and verbal inhibitory control (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.011) assessed by the INECO frontal screening test. No significant differences were observed in global cognitive performance based on MMSE or other ACE-III domains. In addition, 16.7% of HD patients had deficient Stroop test scores, and 33.3% were unable to complete it due to visual difficulties.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The findings highlight selective deficits in frontal-executive functions among HD patients, potentially reflecting subcortical and vascular pathophysiology due to hemodynamic stress and cerebral hypoperfusion.
