it is a prospective longitudinal observational study, aiming to to identify clinical, and biochemical baseline predictors of motor and non-motor PD progression in sample of Egyptian patients. it measures the baseline motor, non-motor, biochemical and imaging characteristics at enrollment and its relation to PD progression over 3 years.

The aim of this study is to identify clinical, and biochemical baseline predictors of motor and non-motor PD progression in sample of Egyptian patients.

Methods:

Assessment:-

Time • During the 2 years recruitment of patients from 2019 to 2021, the assessment will be at base line (first clinic visit), after 1yr, and after 2yrs.

Patients will be subjected to:

Clinical assessment:

  • At base line, Patients will complete an extensive clinical evaluation, including:
  1. Comprehensive medical history and neurological examination.
  2. Demographic information (sex, age, education level, and occupation), as well as clinical characteristics of them (age at onset, duration of illness, received medications and doses).
  3. Motor assessment; Movement Disorder Society (MDS) -Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) he motor portion (Part III) during OFF and ON states, Hoehn \& Yahr, and Schwab \& England scales.
  4. Gait assessment, Gait will be assessed by: Freezing of gait questionnaire Berg balance scale 10 m walk test Timed up and go test Physical activity scale for elderly (PASE). Cognitive assessment; MOCA, MMSE. Cognitive assessment : during On state.
  • All patients will be evaluated for global cognitive assessment by:
  • Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE)Arabic version
  • Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) Arabic version
  • The standard battery included cognitive tests in the following domains: visuospatial skills, language, attention, executive functioning, and memory.
  • Visuospatial skills will be assessed by clock drawing test and copy the intersecting pentagons of Addenbrooke's test (Arabic version)
  • Language will be examined by Language similarity \& language subset of Addenbrooke's test (Arabic version)
  • Attention will be evaluated by forward \&backward digit span tests and by the number of seconds needed to sequence numbers using a pencil (Trail making test A)
  • For the evaluation of memory, participants will complete Wechsler memory subset, and investigators also will use their three-item recall from the MMSE.
  • Executive functions will be measured by Wisconsin card sorting test and also Semantic verbal fluency test .

The non-motor symptoms scales (NMSS). Beck depression inventory (BDI). The Arabic version of The Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39). Lab investigations MRI brain or CT brain . Serum alpha -Synuclein auto antibodies

All the following will be done at baseline, after 1 year, and after 2 year except, MRI brain and serum alpha-synuclein (only at baseline ).

This study will be approved from the ethical committee of Faculty of Medicine, Ain -Shams University.

Being tested

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. predictors of progression of motor features of PD

    change in MDS UPDRS, Movement Disorder Society - Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS), from 0 to 260. The MDS-UPDRS has four parts, namely, I: Non-motor Experiences of Daily Living (13 questions) total is from 0 to 52; II: Motor Experiences of Daily Living (13 questions, from 0 to 52) III: Motor Examination (20 questions), total is from 0 to 132; IV: Motor Complications (6 questions, from 0 to 24). In each question: 0=normal; 1=slight; 2= mild; 3=moderate; 4=severe.higher values represent a worse outcome

    Measured: at 1, 2,3 years follow ups

  2. predictors of progression of non motor features of PD

    changes in Nonmotor, and depression scores.

    Non-Motor Symptom assessment scale for Parkinson's Disease, Symptoms assessed over the last month. Each symptom scored with respect to:

    Severity: from 0 to 3 Frequency: from 1 to 4 Yes/ No answers are not included. score of each question = frequency x severity . There are nine domains: Cardiovascular including falls, Sleep/fatigue, Mood/cognition, Perceptual problems/hallucinations, Attention/memory, Gastrointestinal tract, Urinary, Sexual function, and Miscellaneous. Higher values represent worse outcome.

    Depression assessment scales: Beck depression inventory (BDI) (Higher values represent worse outcome, Arabic version)

    Measured: at 1, 2 ,3 years follow-ups

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. development of drug (levodopa) complications

    follow up patients regarding appearance of levodopa related complications using Assessment will be done by Unified Dyskinesia Rating Scale (UDysRS) which is developed to evaluate involuntary movements often associated with treated Parkinson's disease. There are two primary sections: Historical [Part 1 (On-Dyskinesia) and Part 2 (Off-Dystonia)], and Objective [Part 3 (Impairment) and Part 4 (Disability)]

    Measured: at 1,2, and 3 years

  2. development of gait problems

    detecting changes in patients gait. Assessment of gait by Freezing of gait questionnaire (contain 9 questions allocated in 3 parts, score of each question ranges from 0; very mild freezing of gait to 3 or 4 ; with sever freezing of gait), Berg balance scale(to assess the static and dynamic balance by 14 questions with total score =56, each question scored from 0; the sever impairment , to 4 without impairment), 10 meter walk test (individual walks without assistance 10 meters (32.8 feet) and the time is measured, calculate the average of the three trials), and Timed up and go test.

    Measured: at1,2, and 3 years

  3. change of quality of life

    The Arabic version of Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39), Higher values represent better outcome.

    Measured: at 1, 2 ,3 years
