Patients and methods. The investigation enrolled 111 men and women aged 40-75 years at high and very high CVR. High and very high CVR was established in 30 (27.0%) and 81 (73.0%), respectively. The median MMSE score in the examinees was 28.0 (27.0–28.0). The MMSE score was equal to ≥28 in 71 (63.9%) patients. Moderate CI (MCI) was found in 40 (36.1%) patients. The follow-up duration was 24.6 (14.4–34.5) months. The combined endpoint was taken to be death from cardiovascular causes, nonfatal myocardial infarction or unstable angina requiring hospitalization, nonfatal stroke, and coronary revascularization. Results and discussion. The events constituting the combined endpoint occurred in 40 (36.0%) patients. The Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that patients with MCI (24–27 MMSE scores) had a significantly lower &gt;2-year survival rate. The Cox regression analysis established that MCI was associated with a 2.56-fold increase in the relative risk (RR) of the adverse cardiovascular events constituting the endpoint (95% CI, 1.22–5.33; p=0.013). The prognostic value of CI, in particular with respect to the development of cardiovascular events, was observed in various age groups of patients. MMSE is a simple screening test that should be used more widely, including for the identification of patients at increased CVR. Conclusion. The presence of MCI is associated with the RR of adverse cardiovascular events.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Цель исследования – оценка прогностической значимости когнитивных нарушений (КН), выявляемых с помощью краткой шкалы оценки психического статуса (КШОПС), у пациентов с высоким и очень высоким кардиоваскулярным риском (КВР).  Пациенты и методы. В исследование включено 111 мужчин и женщин 40–75 лет с высоким и очень высоким КВР. Высокий КВР был установлен у 30 (27,0%) пациентов, очень высокий КВР – у 81 (73,0%). Медиана балла КШОПС у обследованных составляла 28,0 (27,0–28,0). У 71 (63,9%) пациента показатель КШОПС равнялся ≥28 баллам. Умеренные когнитивные нарушения (УКН) выявлены у 40 (36,1%) больных. Длительность периода наблюдения достигала 24,6 (14,4–34,5) мес. За комбинированную конечную точку были приняты смерть от кардиоваскулярных причин, нефатальный инфаркт миокарда или нестабильная стенокардия, потребовавшая госпитализации, нефатальный инсульт, коронарная реваскуляризация.  Результаты и обсуждение. События, составляющие комбинированную конечную точку, произошли у 40 (36,0%) пациентов. По данным анализа Каплана–Мейера, пациенты с УКН (24–27 баллов по КШОПС) отличались значимо более низкой выживаемостью при наблюдении более 2 лет. При использовании регрессии Кокса установлено, что УКН ассоциировались с увеличением в 2,56 раза относительного риска (ОР) развития неблагоприятных кардиоваскулярных событий, составляющих конечную точку (95% ДИ 1,22–5,33; p=0,013). Прогностическая ценность КН, в частности в отношении развития кардиоваскулярных событий, наблюдалась у пациентов различных возрастных групп. КШОПС – простой скрининговый тест, который должен шире использоваться, в том числе для выявления пациентов с повышенным КВР. Заключение. Наличие УКН связано с увеличением ОР развития неблагоприятных кардиоваскулярных событий.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>умеренные когнитивные нарушения</kwd><kwd>кардиоваскулярный риск</kwd><kwd>краткая шкала оценки психического статуса</kwd><kwd>выживаемость</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>moderate cognitive impairment</kwd><kwd>cardiovascular risk</kwd><kwd>Mini-Mental State Examination scale</kwd><kwd>survival</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Захаров ВВ, Вахнина НВ, Парфенов ВА.
