The coexistence of cognitive impairment and physical frailty in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients is known as cognitive frailty. It has emerged as a novel complication in MHD patients and increases the risk of adverse outcomes such as falls, fractures, functional impairment and death. Timely intervention can delay or even reverse the development of cognitive frailty to dementia, thereby reducing the risk of adverse outcomes and improving the quality of life of patients. Based on this literature review method, this article summarizes the domestic and foreign research progress on the epidemiology, assessment tools, influencing factors and intervention measures of cognitive frailty in MHD patients, aiming to provide reference for clinical staff to carry out early screening and intervention of cognitive frailty in MHD patients.
