Abstract
BACKGROUND: Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is widely used for assessing cognitive function in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, but its effectiveness in Indonesian CKD populations remains unclear compared to studies in other regions. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the reliability and validity of the translated MoCA in assessing cognitive impairment among dialysis patients. METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the hemodialysis and Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) unit of RSUD Dr. Saiful Anwar in Indonesia from January to February 2024. The study utilized the Indonesian Version of MoCA for cognitive assessment. Reliability and validity of the questionnaire were evaluated using Cronbach's Alpha and Pearson validity test methods. RESULTS: In this study, 43 participants were enrolled, including 21 undergoing hemodialysis and 22 receiving CAPD. MoCA's reliability was confirmed with Cronbach's Alpha values of 0.648 for hemodialysis and 0.737 for CAPD, indicating strong internal consistency. The questionnaire exhibited favorable discriminatory power, with corrected item-total correlation scores exceeding 0.3 for all items in both groups. Validity demonstrated strong construct validity, with critical values surpassing standard references. All statistical significance levels were below 0.05, affirming MoCA's reliability in assessing cognitive function in dialysis patients. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, our study has demonstrated that the translated MoCA is valid and reliable for assessing cognitive function in CKD patients undergoing dialysis.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
