Cognitive impairment in a Colombian cohort of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus: A cross-sectional study
ContextCognitive deficits are neuropsychiatric syndromes associated with systemic lupus erythematosus. In our context, there are no data on the frequency of cognitive deficit as a manifestation of neuropsychiatric SLE or the associated conditions.ObjectiveTo define determinants of cognitive deficit in a cohort of Colombian patients with SLE attending a third-level hospital.Methods and PatientsThis descriptive cross-sectional study included patients with SLE, explored the presence of cognitive impairment through screening testing using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA test), and diagnostic confirmation with a specific neuropsychological test battery recommended by the American College of Rheumatology. Quality of life was assessed using the LupusCol questionnaire and depression using the Beck Depression Inventory.ResultsMost patients were women, with a median age of 37 years (IQR, 28.0 - 46.7). Most patients had a level of higher education or technical education. Fifty-nine (62.9%) patients presented with a normal MoCA test result ≥26 points, and 35 (37.1%) patients with a score <26 points that were considered abnormal. The comprehensive neuropsychological test battery was applied to 31 patients (33.0%) with an abnormal MoCA test. Forty-one patients (48.8%) had some degree of depression. The median loss of quality of life was 21.03% (IQR 10.2 - 40.3). 19 patients (20%) presented some degree of cognitive deficit, 15 (15.95% of the total sample) had cognitive impairment, and 4 (4.25%) had cognitive decline.

No association was demonstrated with SLEDAI, prednisolone use, cyclophosphamide use, and the presence of depression.ConclusionIn this study, it was found in 16% of patients evaluated with the complete neuropsychological test battery and in 37% with the MoCA screening test. Our results suggest that it is crucial to implement strategies to assess cognitive deficit, depression, and quality of life in the consultation of patients with SLE and to raise awareness among health providers who care for patients with lupus about their presence and impact.
