Cognitive functions in patients suffering from hypertension and hypothyroidism with retrospective evaluation of control over disease compensation. by M. I. Lesiv

“…A detailed analysis of the patterns of the ACE-R scale revealed that patients in Group I had a significantly lower score in the memory domain (22.68±0.96, p=0.037); patients in Group II had a low score in the concentration domain (15.85±1.14, p=0.045) and executive functions domain (11.62±8.63, p=0.041).
