Characteristics of Autonomic Dysfunction in Parkinson’s Disease: A Large Chinese Multicenter Cohort Study
Autonomic dysfunction (AutD) is one of the non-motor symptoms (NMSs) in Parkinson’s disease (PD). To investigate the prevalence and clinical features of AutD in Chinese patients with PD, a large multicenter cohort of 2,556 individuals with PD were consecutively involved in the Parkinson’s Disease an...

| Sumario: | Autonomic dysfunction (AutD) is one of the non-motor symptoms (NMSs) in Parkinson’s disease (PD). To investigate the prevalence and clinical features of AutD in Chinese patients with PD, a large multicenter cohort of 2,556 individuals with PD were consecutively involved in the Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorders Multicenter Database and Collaborative Network in China (PD-MDCNC) between January 1, 2017, and December 31, 2019. The assessment of AutD was performed using the Scale for Outcomes in Parkinson’s Disease for Autonomic Symptoms (SCOPA-AUT). The evaluation of motor symptoms and other NMSs were performed using well-established scales recommended by the Movement Disorder Society. We found that out of 2,556 patients with PD, 2,333 patients with PD (91.28%) had AutD. Compared with the group of patients with PD without AutD, the group of patients with PD with AutD had older age, older age of onset, longer disease duration, more severe motor symptoms, motor complications, and more frequent NMSs. As for partial correlation analysis, the total SCOPA-AUT score was significantly and positively associated with motor severity scales [Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) total score] and some of the NMSs [Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Behavior Disorder Questionnaire (RBD), Epworth Sleepiness Scale, Hamilton Depression Scale], Fatigue Severity Scale, and Parkinson’s disease questionnaire. PD Sleep Scale was significantly and negatively correlated with AutD. With logistic regression analysis for potentially related factors, age, UPDRS total score, RBD, hyposmia, depression, and fatigue may be associated with PD with AutD. In conclusion, our multicenter cohort study reported the high prevalence of AutD in Chinese PD and revealed the associated factors of PD with AutD. |
