Non-Motor Symptoms as Predictors of Quality of Life in Egyptian Patients With Parkinson’s Disease: A Cross-Sectional Study Using a Culturally Adapted 39-Item Parkinson’s Disease Questionnaire

The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between motor and non-motor symptoms in patients diagnosed with Parkinson. We included in our study 72 patients diagnosed with Parkinson disease:28 female and 44 males. Each patient was evaluated using Non-motor Symptoms Questionnaire for Parkinson Disease, for motor status we used Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) part 3 (motor part). The results of our study indicated that there is a correlation between the non-motor state and the motor symptoms but not in all non-motor domains. The study indicates that the digestive symptoms, the, cardiovascular, sleep and miscellaneous correlate with the motor symptoms but urinary symptoms, memory, hallucination, depression and sexual dysfunction does not show an interdependence with the motor state.

“…8,9 Interestingly, similar non-motor profile was detected in Egyptian PD patients. 30 On the other hand, other previous studies used the non-motor symptoms questionnaire (NMSQuest) and/or compared patients of ET to PD patients. An epidemiological survey of Chinese populations reported NMSs among ET patients, similar to normal controls, except higher frequency of restless legs.…”

“…NMSs were present in 96.4% of the studied patients by Khedr et al [4] with mood and cognitive dysfunction as the most common followed by sleep disturbance and fatigue. In another Egyptian study by Shalash et al [5], all studied patients had one or more NMSs, with the most common were fatigue and sleep disturbance.…”

Introduction: The non-motor symptoms (NMSs) in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients have greater effects on their quality of life compared to the motor symptoms; however, they are under-recognized. The aim: The study aims to evaluate the prevalence and severity of NMS in newly diagnosed PD patients in Tanta University hospitals. Patients and methods: The study included 41 newly diagnosed PD patients. All patients were screened for NMS by the non-motor symptoms questionnaire (NMS-Quest). According to the NMS-Quest response, patients were further evaluated by Sialorrhea Clinical Scale for PD (SCS-PD), Scales for Outcomes in Parkinson's disease for Autonomic symptoms (SCOPA-AUT), Rome III Questionnaire, Nocturnal voiding and Sleep-Interruptions Questionnaire, Brief Pain Inventory, Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Scale for Evaluation of Neuropsychiatric Disorders in Parkinson's Disease (SEND-PD), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and questionnaires based upon the International Restless Legs Study Group criteria. The results: The study included 22 female and 19 male patients; the duration of illness was 2.7 ± 2.08 years. Constipation was the most common symptoms as it was present in 73.1% in the studied patients; 61% suffered loss of sexual interest. 47.5% of patients had depressive symptoms. Sleep disturbance was present in 36.6% of the patients. Anxiety was reported by 30% of the patients. Conclusion: All newly diagnosed PD patients suffered one or more NMSs; constipation was the most frequent followed by sexual dysfunction, depressive symptoms, and sleep disturbance, while pain, sialorrhea, and restless leg were the least reported.
