Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of the stratification medical treatment based on the motor complications risk estimation in improving the quality of life, motor symptoms and delaying the motor complications in Parkinson's patients. Methods: Outpatients and inpatients from Xinhua Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, were recruited between November 2019 and June 2020. The participants were all clinically diagnosed with PD and treated with anti-PD medications, but had no history of motor complications, with the 8-item Parkinson's disease questionnaire summary index (PDQ-8 SI)>18.59. At baseline, the demographic characteristics, PD medical history, levodopa dosage (LD) and levodopa equivalent dosage (LED) were collected, and the evaluation of PDQ-8, Unified Parkinson's disease rating scale (UPDRS)-Ⅱ and Ⅲ, Hoehn and Yahr (H&Y) grade, Hamilton anxiety scale-14 (HAMA-14), Hamilton depression scale-24 (HAMD-24), mini-mental state examination (MMSE), Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), and Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS) tools was accomplished in all participants. Meanwhile, a Parkinson's disease risk estimation scale for motor complications was used to assess patients' risk of motor complications, and thus the medication was stratified in PD patients accordingly. During the 6-month and 12-month follow-ups, the evaluation of the above-mentioned parameters was repeated in all participants. At the 3-month and 9-month follow-ups, the information of anti-PD medications, the occurrence of motor complications (motor fluctuations and dyskinesia) and adverse drug reactions were recorded, and PDQ-8 was also evaluated. Results: Two hundred and fifty-one patients completed the 1-year follow-up, with 135 males and 116 females. At baseline, the median age of the patients was 66 (60, 71) years and the median PDQ-8 SI was 31.2 (21.9, 40.6). Additionally, 15.9% (40/251) of the patients were at high risk of motor fluctuation, and 7.2% (18/251) were at high risk of dyskinesia. There were significant differences in the age of onset, disease duration, PD treatment duration, the scores of UPDRS-Ⅱ and Ⅲ, H&Y Grade, and PDQ-8 SI among PD patients of different risk groups (all P<0.05). In the 12th month, the median of PDQ-8 SI, Δ PDQ-8 SI and Δ UPDRS-Ⅲ was 12.5 (9.4, 18.8), -15.6 (-21.9, -9.4) and -9(-16, -4), respectively, which was statistically different from that of baseline (all P<0.05). The change of UPDRS-Ⅱ scores in the group with high risk of motor fluctuation was statistically different from that in the groups with low and moderate risk (P<0.05). The changes of PSQI score, LD and LED in the group with high risk of dyskinesia was statistically different from those in the groups with low and moderate risk (all P<0.05). During the follow-up, the incidence of motor fluctuation and dyskinesia was 9.56% (24/251) and 5.97% (15/251), respectively. Conclusion: The stratification medical treatment might have a positive intervention effect on promoting a better quality of life, improving motor symptoms and delaying motor complications in PD patients.

目的: 评价帕金森病(PD)运动并发症风险分层治疗方案在改善患者生活质量和运动症状、延缓运动并发症等方面的临床疗效。 方法: 研究对象来自2019年11月到2020年6月期间于上海交通大学医学院附属新华医院专病门诊或住院的PD患者,已接受药物治疗但未发生运动并发症,帕金森病生活质量问卷-8指数(PDQ-8 SI)>18.59。基线时,采集人口学特征、PD病史,左旋多巴用量(LD)、左旋多巴等效剂量(LED),完成PDQ-8、统一帕金森病评定量表(UPDRS)-Ⅱ和Ⅲ、汉密尔顿焦虑量表-14(HAMA-14)、汉密尔顿抑郁量表-24(HAMD-24)、简易智能状态测验(MMSE)、匹茨堡睡眠指数(PSQI)和爱泼沃斯嗜睡量表(ESS)的评估,评价PD患者运动并发症发生风险,依次分为症状波动和异动症高、中、低危组,分层制定用药方案。在随访6、12个月时复测上述指标;在随访3、9个月时记录用药信息、运动并发症(症状波动和异动症)和药物不良反应,完成PDQ-8评估。 结果: 251例PD患者完成1年随访,男135例,女116例。基线时,年龄[MQ1Q3)]为66(60,71)岁,PDQ-8 SI[MQ1Q3)]为31.2(21.9,40.6)分。15.9%(40/251)患者处于症状波动高危,7.2%(18/251)处于异动症高危;不同风险组的发病年龄、病程、治疗时程、UPDRS-Ⅱ和Ⅲ评分、H&Y分级、PDQ-8 SI评分差异有统计学意义(均P<0.05)。随访12个月时,总人群PDQ-8 SI为12.5(9.4,18.8)分,ΔPDQ-8 SI为-15.6(-21.9,-9.4)分,ΔUPDRS-Ⅲ为-9(-16,-4)分,较基线差异有统计学意义(均P<0.05)。症状波动高危组ΔUPDRS-Ⅱ与症状波动低、中危组差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);异动症高危组ΔPSQⅠ、ΔLD和ΔLED与异动低、中危组差异有统计学意义(均P<0.05)。随访期间,症状波动发生率为9.56%(24/251),异动症发生率为5.97%(15/251)。 结论: PD运动并发症风险分层治疗方案,在提高PD患者生活质量、兼顾改善运动症状和延缓运动并发症方面具有良好效果。.
