“…Interestingly, the correlation between caregivers' burden and psychotic symptoms was higher in PD patients with dementia than in those with normal cognition. PD patients with dementia have a greater prevalence of psychotic symptoms than patients without dementia, as hypothesized in this study, and this fact increases caregiver burden [23,24]. Different profiles of NPS according to cognitive status were observed in this study: while PD patients with normal cognitive function had more depression and anxiety, PD patients with dementia showed higher percentages of apathy/lack of initiative and mental fatigue.…”

Introduction: In Parkinson's disease (PD), neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) can be particularly burdensome for caregivers. The main goal of this study was to assess the impact of NPS, assessed by means of a new specific scale, on caregiver burden.Methods: A sample of 584 pairs of PD patients and their primary caregivers was studied. Patients' NPS were measured with the Scale for Evaluation of Neuropsychiatric Disorders in PD (SEND-PD), and the Zarit Caregiver Burden Inventory was used to quantify caregiver burden. Three linear regression models were built to check factors associated with caregiver burden, one for the total sample and two for subgroups stratified by the presence of dementia. Results: The most prevalent SEND-PD dimensions were mood/apathy (87.4%), followed by psychotic symptoms (48.5%) and impulse control disorders (26.5%). Patients with dementia (n=94; 16.15% of sample) consistently presented more NPS than patients without dementia (p<0.001). On linear regression models, the main determinants of caregiver burden (for the total sample and the sample of patients without dementia) were SEND-PD dimensions mood/apathy and psychosis, PD-related disability and disease duration. For patients with dementia, the only significant caregiver burden determinants were SEND-PD psychosis and mood/apathy subscale scores.Conclusions: NPS in PD are highly associated with and are determinants of caregiver burden, and are more prevalent and burdensome in patients with dementia. Detailed assessment and specific interventions aimed at NPS could alleviate caregiver burden.

“…Hitherto clinicians had often used generic criteria such as the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders to diagnose PDD 21. A diagnosis of PDD requires a confirmed diagnosis of PD as outlined by the UK Parkinson's Disease Brain Bank Criteria22 and the development of a dementia syndrome in the context of established PD 20.…”

Cognitive impairment is a significant non-motor symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD). Longitudinal cohort studies have demonstrated that approximately 50% of those with PD develop dementia after 10 years, increasing to over 80% after 20 years. Deficits in cognition can be identified at the time of PD diagnosis in some patients and this mild cognitive impairment (PD-MCI) has been studied extensively over the last decade. Although PD-MCI is a risk factor for developing Parkinson's disease dementia there is evidence to suggest that PD-MCI might consist of distinct subtypes with different pathophysiologies and prognoses. The major pathological correlate of Parkinson's disease dementia is Lewy body deposition in the limbic system and neocortex although Alzheimer's related pathology is also an important contributor. Pathological damage causes alteration to neurotransmitter systems within the brain, producing behavioural change. Management of cognitive impairment in PD requires a multidisciplinary approach and accurate communication with patients and relatives is essential.

“…31 Montreal Cognitive Assessment, a brief and potentially useful tool developed to assess a broader range of domains frequently affected in PD, is more sensitive than the commonly used MMSE in cognitive impairment, especially in the screening of mild cognitive impairment. 32 Executive function, language abilities, and visuospatial processing can be more rigorously assessed with MoCA than MMSE in patients with PD. 33 After having investigated the validity of the MoCA and MMSE in the detection of cognitive impairment in PD, Hoops et al suggested that additional assessment was necessary for a positive screening.…”

To compare the accuracy of different neuropsychological tests and their combinations for deriving reliable cognitive indices for dementia diagnosis in Parkinson's disease (PD). One hundred forty consecutive patients with PD were recruited and administrated an extensive battery of neuropsychological tests. Discriminant analysis and receiver-operator characteristic curve were used to evaluate their correct classifications and validity. Patients with PD having dementia (PDD; 23.5%) performed significantly worse in all tests than patients without dementia. Age of onset, disease duration, Hoehn-Yahr grade, Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale part III scores, and education were associated with dementia in patients with PD. Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Montreal Cognitive Assessment, and Block Design (BD) showed better specificity and sensitivity when used alone, and combined use of MMSE and BD further increased the validity. Our results indicated that the accuracy of MMSE was better in dementia diagnosis of Chinese patients with PD, and combined use of MMSE and BD could further increase the validity of dementia diagnosis.
