TLDR
The vast majority of men > or =50 years old initially diagnosed with iRBD in this study eventually developed a parkinsonian disorder/dementia, often after a prolonged interval from onset of iR BD, with the mean interval being 14 years while the range extended to 29 years.

CD4+ T-cell Transcription Factors in Idiopathic REM Sleep Behavior Disorder and Parkinson's Disease

TL;DR: In idiopathic rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder subjects CD4+ T cells exhibit a peculiar molecular signature strongly resembling cells from PD patients, suggesting early involvement of peripheral immunity in PD.

Apathy in Parkinson's disease with REM sleep behavior disorder

TL;DR: In PD, RBD is associated with isolated apathy and increased severity of depressive symptoms, independent of medication, motor and other non-motor symptoms.

Smartphone Speech Testing for Symptom Assessment in Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Behavior Disorder and Parkinson’s Disease

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated smartphone speech testing to distinguish participants with RBD from controls and PD, and predict a range of self- or researcher-administered clinical scores that quantify participants' motor symptoms, cognition, daytime sleepiness, depression, and the overall state of health.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glucocerebrosidase gene variants are accumulated in idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder.

TL;DR: In IRBD, GBA variants are more frequent when compared to controls but not indicative of a short-term risk for LBD after IRBD diagnosis, and could be studied with disease-modifying interventions aiming to restore the GBA metabolic pathway.

“Mini-mental state”: A practical method for grading the cognitive state of patients for the clinician

TL;DR: A simplified, scored form of the cognitive mental status examination, the “Mini-Mental State” (MMS) which includes eleven questions, requires only 5-10 min to administer, and is therefore practical to use serially and routinely.

A practical method for grading the cognitive state of patients for the clinician

TL;DR: The Mini-Mental State (MMS) as mentioned in this paper is a simplified version of the standard WAIS with eleven questions and requires only 5-10 min to administer, and is therefore practical to use serially and routinely.
