Objective: To systematically evaluate the prevalence of cognitive impairment in elderly patients with diabetes in China.

Methods: Computerized searches of the Chinese Biomedical, WanFang, Vip, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library databases were used to collect research literature on cognitive impairment in older Chinese patients with diabetes from the time of database creation to May 5, 2021. A meta-analysis was performed using the Stata v14.0 software after two investigators independently screened the literature, extracted the information, and evaluated the bias risk of the included studies.

Results: A total of 17 studies containing the records of 4380 elderly patients with diabetes were included. The meta-analysis results showed that the incidence of cognitive impairment in elderly patients with diabetes was 48% (95% confidence interval [0.40-0.55]). The results of the subgroup analysis showed that the incidence of cognitive impairment was higher in the elderly population with diabetes who were female, older, with a lower education level, no spouse, living alone, and with a monthly income of less than 2000 yuan.

Conclusion: Current evidence showed that the incidence of cognitive impairment in elderly patients with diabetes in China was 48%, with a higher incidence in the elderly population who were female, older, with a lower education level, a low income, no spouse, and living alone.

Therapeutic drug development for central nervous system injuries, such as traumatic brain injury (TBI), presents significant challenges. TBI results in primary mechanical damage followed by secondary injury, leading to cognitive dysfunction and memory loss. Our recent study demonstrated the potential of carbon monoxide-releasing molecules (CORMs) to improve TBI recovery by enhancing neurogenesis.

Background: A mobile cognition scale for community screening in cognitive impairment with rigorous validation is in paucity. We aimed to develop a digital scale that overcame low education for community screening for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to Alzheimer's disease (AD) and AD.

Methods: A mobile cognitive self-assessment scale (CogSAS) was designed through the Delphi process, which is feasible for the older population with low education.
