Evaluation of Cognitive and Physical Function in the Elderly
A correct estimation of the mental and cognitive function of elderly patients is crucial in the decision making process regarding dialysis: yes or no RRT, type of RRT, can the patient remain at home, or should he/she be transferred to a nursing home? How can we correctly evaluate the physical and mental function of our patients to support these decisions. What is their predictive/diagnostic value; Are there objective investigations (Scans, PET, MR,?) that can be of help.
