Abstract

Sleep disturbances in Parkinson's disease (PD) are a common problem. The aim of this study was to detail the frequency and nature of sleep disorders in a representative population of PD patients. A recently identified prevalent population, consisting of 161 PD patients were used as a representative population. Twenty-seven of 122 (22%) patients were identified as having marked sleep disorders, with sleep fragmentation and nocturia being the most commonly reported problems. Sleep scores worsened with higher Hoehn and Yahr stages. Sleep disturbances are a relatively common complication of PD and worsen with increasing Hoehn and Yahr stage.

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.
