Patients of all ages undergoing hemodialysis (HD) have a high prevalence of cognitive impairment and worse cognitive function than healthy controls, and those with dementia are at high risk of death.

We hypothesized that frailty might also be associated with poor cognitive function in adults of all ages undergoing HD.
