According to the MoCA, visuospatial cognition and abstraction were impaired, and according to the MMSE, spatial orientation and language were impaired in patients with SLE. The CD was correlated with cumulative damage and disease activity. These findings demonstrate that both disease-activity and disease-injury associated CD is found broadly in SLE patients in a Brazilian population, supporting the prior reports of CD in other regional SLE populations.
