Objective: To analyze the MDS-UPDRS part I-IV scores and their differences based on Hoehn and Yahr stage (HY) and disease duration in a large cohort of Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients.
Background: The MDS-UPDRS is a newly developed comprehensive tool to assess PD, its change over the course of PD including increasing disease duration and HY stages has not been well described.
Methods: This cross-sectional study collected demographic data and MDS-UPDRS scores including HY. MDS-UPDRS part I-IV subscores were analyzed using one-way ANOVA for each HY stage and for 5-year increments in disease duration.
Results: Mean participant age of the 3206 patients was 65.8±10.6 years, 53.3% were men, mean disease duration was 11.5±4.6 years and median HY was 2 (range 0-5). Scores of all four MDS-UPDRS parts increased significantly through HY stages 1-5, with and average increase of 3.8; 7.7; 14.6; and 2.0 points consecutively for parts I-IV, respectively. For 5-year increments in disease duration, MDS-UPDRS subscores increased by an average of 1.6; 3.3; 4.2; and 1.4 points consecutively for parts I-IV, respectively. This increase was significant during the first 15 years of disease for all four parts, while parts II, III and IV increased significantly also in the 15-20 year interval and only part II increased significantly in the 25 and more years interval. There was no change observed in the 20-25 year interval for any MDS-UPDRS part.
Conclusions: MDS-UPDRS scores for all four parts significantly increase with every HY stage and also with 5-year increments in disease duration in the first 15 years of the disease.
