Clock Drawing Test (CDT) is a screening tool used in neuropsychological assessment for evaluating comprehensively different cognitive functions. Aberrant performance at CDT was observed in Parkinson's disease, due to impaired executive functioning as well as visuo-spatial difficulties. However, previous studies suffered of different limitations, such reduced sample size and absence of comparison with healthy individuals. The aim of this retrospective study was to verify CDT accuracy in discriminating between 240 patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease and 145 healthy subjects. We verified CDT accuracy in discriminating patients when classified in relation to their global cognitive functioning measured through the Mini Mental State Examination and the Frontal Assessment Battery. Our results showed that affected individuals reported a worse performance in CDT than healthy controls; this difference was not related to age or level of education. Instead, no difference was found between patients when categorized in relation to their performance at the Mini Mental State Examination or Frontal Assessment Battery. We confirmed that Parkinson's disease patients reported low performance at the CDT. We encouraged to use CDT for early detection of possible cognitive difficulties in Parkinson's disease for clinical and research purpose. Response to Reviewers: Reviewer #1 The present retrospective study investigates abnormalities of the Clock Drawing Test (CDT) in a large cohort of 240 patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), and a sample of 145 healthy participants. The CDT was adopted as a measure of global cognitive decline assessed by Mini Mental State Examination-MMSE and Frontal Assessment Battery-FAB. The Authors found that the CDT performance was lower in PD in Powered by Editorial Manager® and ProduXion Manager® from Aries Systems Corporation Page 5: "the relationship between the CDT score and the level of Age and Education was calculated through the calculation of the Pearson's correlation coefficient"; again, consider the Spearman's Rank Order Correlation (see previous comment) REPLY: Following this comments, we run again in analyses adopting the Spearman's Rank Order Correlation. Please, refer to Table 4.
