Frequently Asked Questions (8)
Q2. What are the main reasons to disclose a diagnosis of PD?
There are important reasons to disclose a diagnosis of prodromal disease, including patient autonomy (all patients have a right to understand their condition), and beneficence (diagnosing early disease stages can facilitate prompt treatment of motor and nonmotor symptoms).
Q3. How much does a positive test increase the probability of PD?
One can define positive LRs, which indicate how much a positive test result increases disease probability (expressed as LR1 >1), and negative LRs, which indicate how much a negative test decreases the probability (LR2 <1).
Q4. How many LRs are required to meet the probability threshold of 80%?
To meet the probability threshold of 80% for probable prodromal PD, the approximate minimum required total LR is:1000 from ages 50 to 54; 515 from ages 55 to 59; 300 from ages 60 to 64; 180 from ages 65 to 69; 155 from ages 70 to 74; 110 from ages 75 to 79; and 95 age 80 and over.
Q5. What is the definition of prodromal PD?
Whereas the diagnostic criteria for clinical PD remain centered on a motor syndrome, prodromal PD can be defined also based upon nonmotor markers (“marker” here refers to any disease indicator, whether a symptom, sign, or biomarker).
Q6. What were the likely markers to be correlated?
In situations in which markers were likely correlated, they were combined into one criterion (e.g., quantitative motor tests were combined into one category; olfactory discrimination, threshold, and identification were considered as one category).
Q7. Why were some putative risk factors not included?
Several putative risk/protective factors for PD were not included, either because prospective cohort-based evidence was limited, because ORs were insufficiently strong to substantially change risk estimates, or because of concerns of nonindependence (e.g., pesticides and farming as occupation are likely nonindependent).
Q8. Why are DLB conversions calculated as PD?
DLB conversions are calculated as PD conversions, owing to the fact that studies have documented substantial overlap in manifestations and levodoparesponsive parkinsonism in the majority of patients diagnosed with DLB emerging from idiopathic RBD.4
