Subjective complaints of cognitive deficits are not necessarily consistent with objective evidence of cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease (PD). Here we examined the factors associated with the objective-subjective cognitive discrepancy.
Background and purpose Although disabling fatigue is common in Parkinson disease (PD), available consensus-based diagnostic criteria have not yet been empirically validated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinimetric properties of the criteria. Methods A sample of outpatients with PD was evaluated for demographic, clinical,...
Introduction: Mild cognitive impairment is a common feature of Parkinson's disease (PD-MCI), even at the earliest disease stages. Growing evidence supports the instability of PD-MCI over time, without a consistent linear evolution to dementia, and in some patients, the potential of reversion to normal cognition. However, which features are...
Both motor and non-motor symptoms could contribute to significant deterioration of psychological well-being in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). However, its assessment has been only indirectly evaluated using tools based on health-related quality of life (HRQoL), such as the PDQ-39 scale.

Objectives: We investigated the family history of PD patients, comparing demographic and clinical features between familial PD (fPD) and sporadic PD (sPD). Methods: A cross-sectional study...
