About this study

Official title: The Chinese DENOVO Parkinson's Disease Registry

The main objective of this longitudinal, multi-center study is to explore the clinical characteristics of PD and confirm biomarkers for PD evolution or progression.

Read the detailed description

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease, characterized by classical motor features including tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia, postural instability and a wide range of non-motor symptoms. Notably, a good deal of research revealed that PD is heterogeneous in clinical manifestations, rate of progression and prognosis. It is crucial to acknowledge the marked heterogeneity of PD and establish compelling biomarkers to predict the disease progression and prognosis. In past decades, there were substantial studies focused on defining the biomarkers of PD, which substantially contributed to improving our knowledge of PD. However, the pathology and clinical heterogeneity of PD are still poorly understood and controversial. Moreover, the information about reliable and well-validated biomarkers for PD has not yet been investigated thoroughly. Investigators aim to characterize the clinical feature, genetic basis, environmental factors and their interactions among different PD subtypes in China, and identify promising biomarkers for PD progression.

Data were collected at baseline, 12±1 months during the routine follow-up visits. Information about detailed disease history, level of education, significant chronic comorbidities, physical examination, medication history, family history, living habits and toxic exposure history, which include smoking, drinking tea, alcoholic consumption, drinking coffee, exposure to pesticide or occupational solvent, history of carbon monoxide poisoning and recurrent head trauma will be recorded at baseline. For each visit evaluation, the same questionnaires will be conducted. A standardized neurological assessment according to the recommendation of Consensus on the construction of clinical database of Parkinson's disease and movement disorders in China. The Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) part III is conducted for motor assessment, all the patients are evaluated in "OFF" state. The clinical stage of PD is assessed by Hoehn and Yahr scale (H-Y). The non-motor symptoms are evaluated by Non-motor Symptom Scale (NMSS), autonomic symptoms are evaluated by The Scale for outcomes in Parkinson's disease for Autonomic Symptoms (SCOPA-AUT). Constipation was diagnosed by Functional Constipation Diagnostic Criteria Rome. The 39-item Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39) was used to assess the quality of life. Sleep quality was evaluated by Parkinson's Disease Sleep Scale (PDSS) and excessive daytime sleepiness by Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). Probable rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (p-RBD) was diagnosed by rapid eye movement sleep behavior questionnaire-Hongkong (RBDQ-HK). Restless leg syndrome (RLS) was diagnosed with the Cambridge Hopkins Restless Leg syndrome questionnaire (CH-RLSq). Cognition was used by the previously validated scale, Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). Olfaction test was carried out by Hyposmia Rating Scale (HRS), and a proportion of patients was also ascertained by Sniffin's Sticks. Depression was diagnosed by Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD). Symptom of fatigue was measured by PD fatigue severity scale (PFS). Wearing-off was evaluated by WOQ-9 and freezing gait by new freezing gait questionnaire scores (NFOGQ). Dyskinesis was evaluated by Rush Dyskinesia Rating Scale. DNA samples were extracted from peripheral blood and detected by Whole Exome Sequencing or Whole-genome sequencing. Plasma was obtained from venepuncture. All the participants were scanned by structural MRI to exclude obvious intracranial lesions and other parkinsonism such as MSA, PSP and WD.

What is being measured

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

  1. The Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale for evaluating motor subtypes

    The UPDRS is made up of four parts, 55 items in total. Total score varies from 0 to 199. Part I: evaluation of behavior and mood, which consists of 4 items, score varies from 0-16; Part II: self-evaluation of the activities of daily life, which consists of 13 items,score varies from 0-52; Part III: motor evaluation, which consists of 27 items, score varies from 0-108; Part IV: complications of therapy, which consists of 11 items,score varies from 0-23. All the patients are evaluated in "OFF" state. The ratio of the mean tremor score (scores of item-16, item-20, and item-21 will be added: ) to the mean postural instability/gait disorder (PIGD) score (scores of item-13, item-14, item-15, item-29, item-30 will be added: ) was used to classify motor subtype. Patients with a ratio value < 1.0 were defined as PIGD, and those with values from 1.0 to 1.5 were categorized as intermediate, while those with values ≥1.5 were classified as tremor dominant.

    Measured: from baseline to 10 years

  2. The clinical stage of PD is assessed by Hoehn and Yahr scale

    The H-Y scale ranges from 1 to 5. Early PD is defined as H-Y stage 1 to 2.5, advanced PD is defined as H-Y stage 3-5.

    Measured: from baseline to 10 years

  3. The non-motor symptoms are evaluated by Non-motor Symptom Scale

    This scale includes 30 items which is divided into 9 domains. Total score varies from 0-360. Higher score indicates severer symptoms. Domain 1 evaluates cardiovascular system symptoms. Score of domain 1 varies from 0-24.

    Domain 2 evaluates sleep condition. Score of domain 2 varies from 0-48. Domain 3 evaluates cognitive function. Score of domain 3 varies from 0-72. Domain 4 evaluates illusion. Score of domain 4 varies from 0-36. Domain 5 evaluates attention and memory. Score of domain 5 varies from 0-36. Domain 6 evaluates gastrointestinal symptoms. Score of domain 6 varies from 0-36. Domain 7 evaluates urinary symptoms. Score of domain 7 varies from 0-36. Domain 8 evaluate sensory symptoms. Score of domain 8 varies from 0-24. Domain 9 evaluates other non-motor symptoms.

    Score of domain 9 varies from 0-48.

    Measured: from baseline to 10 years

  4. Constipation was diagnosed by Functional Constipation Diagnostic Criteria Rome III

    The diagnostic criteria must include two or more of the following

    1. Straining during at least 25% of defecations
    2. Lumpy or hard stools in at least 25% of defecations
    3. Sensation of incomplete evacuation for at least 25% of defecations
    4. Sensation of anorectal obstruction/blockage for at least 25% of defecations
    5. Manual maneuvers to facilitate at least 25% of defecations (e.g., digital evacuation, support of the pelvic floor)f. Fewer than three defecations per week 2. Loose stools are rarely present without the use of laxatives 3.

    Insufficient criteria for irritable bowel syndrome * Criteria fulfilled for the last 3 months with symptom onset at least 6 months prior to diagnosis

    Measured: from baseline to 10 years

  5. The PDQ-39 was used to assess the quality of life

    This scale includes 39 items assessing the following regions: mobility (10 items), activities of daily living (6 items), emotional well-being (6 items), stigma (4 items), social support (3 items), cognitions (4 items), communications (3 items) and bodily discomfort (3 items). Alternatively, the sum of the scores can assess the overall health-related quality of life profile of the individual questioned. Scores in each region should be added. The score of the answers ranges from 0 to 4 for each item and the total score ranges from 0 to 116, where higher scores reflect worse life quality

    Measured: from baseline to 10 years

  6. Sleep quality is evaluated by Parkinson's Disease Sleep Scale

    This scale includes 15 items that address eight aspects of sleep disturbances in PD, including overall quality of night's sleep (item 1)), score of item 1 less than 6 is defined as sleep disorder. Score of all the questions will be summed. The score of the answers ranges from 0 to 10 for each item and the total score ranges from 0 to 150, where higher scores reflect better sleep condition.

    Measured: from baseline to 10 years

  7. Epworth Sleepiness Scale evaluates excessive sleepiness

    This scale includes 8 items. Score of all the questions will be summed. All items were rated on a 4-point scale (0- 3), with a minimal score of 0, and maximum total score of 24. A higher score demonstrates more severe excessive daytime sleepiness. Participants were classified as showing excessive daytime sleepiness if their total score ≥10 .

    Measured: from baseline to 10 years

  8. Probable rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder was diagnosed by Probable rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder Questionnaire -Hongkong

    This scale includes 13 items. Score of all the questions will be summed. Total score of the answers ranges from 0 to 100, where higher scores reflect severer rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder.The optimal cutoff value for the overall scale is 17; subjects were classified as showing RBD when they reached the above score.

    Measured: from baseline to 10 years

  9. Olfaction test was measured by Hyposmia Rating Scale

    This scale includes 6 items. Score of all the questions will be summed. All items were rated on a 4-point scale (1-4), with a minimal score of 6, and maximum total score of 24. A higher score demonstrates more worse sense of olfaction.

    The cutoff value HRS is 22.5.

    Measured: from baseline to 10 years

  10. Cognitive condition is assessed by Mini Mental State Examination

    This scale includes 30 items. Score of all the questions will be summed. All items were rated on a 2-point scale (0-

    1), with a minimal score of 0, and maximum total score of 30. A higher score demonstrates more better cognitive condition. The definition of cognitive disorder differs in education level. For illiteracy, presence of cognitive impairment is defined as MMSE score. For those only receive elementary education, the cut-off value is 20. For other patients, presence of cognitive impairment was defined as MMSE scores less than 25.

    Measured: from baseline to 10 years

  11. Depression was diagnosed by Hamilton and Montgomery-Asberg Depression Scale

    This scale includes 17 items. Score of all the questions will be summed. Total score ranges from0-53. A higher score demonstrates more severer depression. The study participants were defined to be not depressed (scores 0-6) , to have minor depression(scores 7-14), or to have major depression (scores above 14) at the different visits during follow-up.

    Measured: from baseline to 10 years

  12. Autonomic symptoms are evaluated by The Scale for outcomes in Parkinson disease for Autonomic Symptoms

    This scale includes 25 items assessing the following regions: gastrointestinal (7 items), urinary (6 items), cardiovascular (3 items), thermoregulatory (4 items), pupillomotor (1 items), and sexual dysfunction(2 items for men and 2 items for women). Scores in each region should be added. The score of the answers ranges from 0 to 3 for each item and the total score ranges from 0 to 69, where higher scores reflect worse autonomic functioning.

    Measured: from baseline to 10 years
