Introduction:Psychosis is a prominent neuropsychiatric symptom of Parkinson''s disease (PD) and is associated with negative outcomes, such as poorer quality of life and greater rate of functional impairment. Early identification of patients with PD at risk of developing psychosis facilitates appropriate management to improve outcomes. However, this phenomenon has not been examined locally. This study aimed to examine the prevalence of PD-associated psychosis in the local setting, identify any associated risk factors, as well as characterise the cognitive trajectory of patients with PD with psychosis.Methods:A retrospective cohort of 336 patients with PD, who presented to the National Neuroscience Institute, Singapore, in 2006 and 2007 and attended follow-up visits through to 2013 was analysed. The data analysed included scores from clinician assessments of cognitive function, disease severity and presence of psychotic symptoms, conducted when clinically appropriate during patients’ medical visits. Survival analysis and logistic and linear regression analysis were performed.Results:Psychosis was diagnosed in 63 patients with PD, indicating a prevalence of 18.8% for PD-associated psychosis. Incidence of psychosis in PD was calculated to be 40 per 1,000 person-years. No significant association was found between demographic variables and the odds of developing psychosis in PD. Regression analyses found that the presence of psychosis significantly predicted greater cognitive decline and disease severity.Conclusion:Psychosis has a significant presence among the PD population in Singapore, possibly serving as an indicator of more rapid cognitive decline and progression of PD severity. 相似文献

The management of the elderly patient with idiopathic Parkinson's disease requires great attention to detail. Treatment should only be considered when the daily activities of life are affected. Medication should be commenced cautiously. Regular review is essential and co-ordination with other members of the multidisciplinary team is vital. 相似文献

Parkinson''s disease is a common disabling disease of old age. The diagnosis of idiopathic Parkinson''s disease is based on clinical signs and has poor sensitivity, with about 25% of patients confidently diagnosed as having the disease actually having other conditions such as multi-system atrophy and other parkinsonism-plus syndromes. Benign essential tremor and arteriosclerotic pseudo-parkinsonism can easily be confused with Parkinson''s disease. The cause of Parkinson''s disease remains unknown. Speculative research highlights the role of oxidative stress and free radical mediated damage to dopaminergic cells. Parkinson''s disease is the one neurodegenerative disorder in which drugs have been demonstrated to be of value. There is now a wide variety of drugs and formulations available, including anticholinergics, amantidine, L-dopa, dopamine agonists including apomorphine, selegiline and soon to be available catechol-O-methyltransferase inhibitors. Disabling side-effects of treatment, fluctuations, dyskinesias and psychiatric problems require strategic use of the drugs available. There is an increasing potential for neurosurgical intervention. 相似文献

Sinemet CR, a controlled release carbidopa/levodopa preparation, was compared to conventional carbidopa/levodopa in a double blind, placebo-controlled trial. Comparable clinical benefits and adverse effects were noted with the two medications. However significantly less frequent dosing was necessary with Sinemet CR. 相似文献

Plasma beta-phenylethylamine (PEA) levels were determined in 27 patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) in order to evaluate its relation with the severity or clinical course of PD. The plasma PEA concentrations in PD patients were significantly lower (mean +/- SD, 862 +/- 554 pg/ml) than those in the control group (1765 +/- 790 pg/ml) (p < 0.0001). The concentrations of PEA in plasma did not correlate with Hoen and Yahr stage. However, in serial measurements of the PEA of 5 patients in the progressive group of the clinical course of PD, the plasma PEA levels revealed a downward trend after one or two years. On the other hand, in 3 patients of non-progressive group, the plasma PEA remained at the same level. This study suggests that plasma PEA level might reflect nigrostriatal degeneration in patients with PD. 相似文献

Movement disorders are common neurological illnesses among the elderly. These include essential tremor, Perkinsonian disorders and chorea of different aetiologies. Parkinsonian disorders can be divided into two major groups of disorders--classical idiopathic Parkinson's disease and Parkinson plus syndrome. The most common and important cause of Parkinsonism is idiopathic Parkinson's disease. Idiopathic Parkinson's disease is most confidently clinically diagnosed if we follow the United Kingdom Parkinson's Disease Society Brain Bank Diagnostic Criteria for Parkinson's disease. The most common degnerative diseases, which minic idiopathic Parkinson's disease are collectively called Parkinson plus syndrome. The most important diseases comprising Parkinson plus syndrome are: progressive supranuclear palsy, multiple system atrophy, cortical-basal ganglionic degneration, diffuse Lewy body disease and Parkinson-dementia-ALS complex. In India the prevalence of Parkinson's disease varied markedly from one study to another. The prevalence rate is high among the urban Parsi community of Mumbai. Incidence and prevalence of Parkinson's disease increase with increasing age. Some risk factors for Parkinson's disease have been narrated briefly. As the number of cases of Parkinsonism is likely to increase along with increasing population, the general practitioners or consultant physicans should have to play a greater role referring the cases to attend neurologists or movement disorder clinic early. 相似文献

帕金森病是一种中老年人神经系统退行性疾病,年龄是最主要的危险因素,已显示出遗传倾向性的一些易感基因包括α-突触核蛋白、DJ-1、Parkin等也是重要的发病因素。目前,临床治疗帕金森病最重要的方法是多巴胺的替代治疗,能显著减轻病人的运动障碍。近年来的研究发现胚胎干细胞移植及基因治疗都是在探索中极具前景的治疗方法。 相似文献

There has been a recent surge of interest in the subject of anxiety in patients with Parkinson's disease. Up to 40% of patients with Parkinson's disease experience clinically significant anxiety. This anxiety may be a psychological reaction to the stress of the illness or may be related to the neurochemical changes of the disease itself. Antiparkinsonian drugs may have a role in the pathogenesis of the anxiety. The anxiety disorders in Parkinson's disease patients appear to be clustered in the panic disorder, phobic disorder, and generalised anxiety disorder areas. The degree of comorbidity between anxiety and depression in patients with Parkinson's disease is in excess of that found in patients without the disease and anxiety in combination with depression may represent a specific depressive subtype in Parkinson's disease. As yet, there is no trial evidence as to the treatment of anxiety in patients with Parkinson's disease. 相似文献
