Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Assessment of olfactory function, particularly odor identification, may help to predict the development of a Lewy body disease in patients with iRBD over a relatively short time period and thus to identify patients suitable for future disease modification trials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Birgit Frauscher,Laura Ehrmann,Laura Zamarian,Florentine Auer,Thomas Mitterling,David Gabelia,Elisabeth Brandauer,Margarete Delazer,Werner Poewe,Birgit Högl +9 more
TL;DR: The Innsbruck REMSleep behavior disorder inventory is a promising, easy‐to‐use, short screening tool for REM sleep behavior disorder with excellent sensitivity and specificity for both idiopathic and Parkinson's‐related REM sleepbehavior disorder.
Journal ArticleDOI
Delayed Diagnosis, Range of Severity, and Multiple Sleep Comorbidities: A Clinical and Polysomnographic Analysis of 100 Patients of the Innsbruck Narcolepsy Cohort
Birgit Frauscher,Laura Ehrmann,Thomas Mitterling,David Gabelia,Viola Gschliesser,Elisabeth Brandauer,Werner Poewe,Birgit Högl +7 more
TL;DR: This study is the first to evaluate the percentage of patients with high frequency leg movements and excessive fragmentary myoclonus in narcolepsy and is theFirst to demonstrate EMG evidence of RBD in the multiple sleep latency test (MSLT).
Journal ArticleDOI
Comorbidity and medication in REM sleep behavior disorder: A multicenter case-control study
Birgit Frauscher,Poul Jennum,Yo-El Ju,Ronald B. Postuma,Isabelle Arnulf,Valérie Cochen De Cock,Yves Dauvilliers,Maria Livia Fantini,Luigi Ferini-Strambi,David Gabelia,A.

TL;DR: The association between comorbid depression and antidepressant use in patients with polysomnographically confirmed idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) is confirmed and there was an unexpected association of iRBD with ischemic heart disease that was not explained by cardiovascular risk factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Subjective deficits of attention, cognition and depression in patients with narcolepsy.
Laura Zamarian,Birgit Högl,Margarete Delazer,Katharina Hingerl,David Gabelia,Thomas Mitterling,Elisabeth Brandauer,Birgit Frauscher +7 more
TL;DR: It was shown that sleepiness and depression, more than objective cognitive deficits, might play a role in the subjectively perceived attention deficits of patients with narcolepsy, and clinicians should pay attention to potential depression.
