Abstract

OBJECTIVES Non-motor symptoms (NMS) frequently impact health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD). Sleep problems represent one of the main NMS complained by PD patients. In this observation study, sleep problems measured by Parkinson's Disease Sleep Scale - 2nd version (PDSS-2), and HRQoL measured by Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire-39 (PDQ39) were quantified in patients with PD ranging from mild to moderate-advanced disease stages, and correlated to motor impairment and anti-PD therapy. METHODS We included idiopathic PD patients who underwent PDSS-2 and PDQ39. Moreover, we assessed patients' motor symptoms by rating the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) - III section (motor examination), patients' PD status following H&Y stage, and levodopa equivalent daily dose (LEDD). RESULTS One-hundred and fifty-four patients with PD were included and distributed for H&Y stage. PDSS-2 and PDQ39 total and sub-items scores significantly increased with the H&Y stage. PDSS-2 total score significantly correlated with PDQ39 total score (γ = 0.63, P < 0.01). Finally, distributing PD patients according to the PDSS-2 cut-off for detecting sleep disturbances, we found in poor sleepers (n = 58) higher PDQ39 scores than good sleepers (n = 89). CONCLUSIONS Sleep problems are very common in patients with PD and severely impact on HRQoL. Sleep impairment and low HRQoL occur from the early stages of the disease and deteriorate along disease progression. Further studies investigating sleep and quality of life should be planned for targeting sleep improvement to increase HRQoL and possibly reduce motor impairment.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
