【Abstract】Objective To explore the influencing factors of common chronic diseases on mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in elderly inpatients with multiple comorbidities. Methods From January 2022 to August 2023,1591 elderly inpatients with multiple comorbidities were selected in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University, and their demographic data, biochemical results, medical history data, and scale evaluations were collected. According to the diagnostic criteria of MCI, the inpatients were divided into non-MCI group (n=1 211) and MCI group (n=380). SPSS 26.0 was used for data analysis. According to the data type, nonparametric tests and Chi square tests were used for intergroup comparisons. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the influencing factors of common chronic diseases on MCI in elderly inpatients with multiple comorbidities. Results The detection rate of MCI among the elderly inpatients with multiple comorbidities was 23.88% (380/1591). There were significant differences between the MCI group and the non-MCI group in age, education level, marital status, residence status, fasting blood glucose, creatinine, uric acid, triglyceride, serum total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, multiple comorbidities, number of medications, hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hypothyroidism, daily living ability, Morse fall risk score, and Fried frailty scale (all P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that common chronic diseases such as diabetes (OR=1.590,95%CI 1.083-2.335), coronary heart disease (OR=2.199,95%CI 1.571-3.078), cerebrovascular disease (OR=1.603,95%CI 1.113-2.310), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (OR=1.794,95%CI 1.222-2.634), hypothyroidism (OR=2.489,95%CI 1.597-3.879), and increased number of multiple comorbidities (OR=2.711,95%CI 2.292-3.206) were risk factors of MCI in the elderly inpatients with multiple comorbidities (all P<0.05). Conclusion The detection rate of MCI in elderly inpatients with multiple comorbidities is high. Common chronic diseases such as diabetes, coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hypothyroidism, and the increase in the number of multiple comorbidities are risk factors of MCI in elderly patients with multiple comorbidities.
