Sumario: | BACKGROUND: The aim was to investigate the autonomic dysfunction between Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients with olfactory dysfunction and PD patients without olfactory dysfunction in southern Chinese population. METHODS: Fifty-six PD patients with olfactory dysfunction and 44 patients without olfactory dysfunction were included. All patients were evaluated by Sniffin’ sticks (SS-16), scales for outcomes in Parkinson’s disease-autonomic questionnaire, Hamilton anxiety rating scale and Hamilton depression rating scale RESULTS: The score of subpart of gastrointestinal symptoms and subpart of urinary symptoms were different in two groups (gastrointestinal symptoms: p value: 0.024; urinary symptoms: p value: 0.008). As for each question items, questions 2, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14 were correlated with SS-16 scores (Question 2: p value: 0.013; question 6: p value: 0.006; question 8: p value: 0.025; question 10: p value: 0.005; question 11: p value: 0.022; question 13: p value: < 0.001; question 14: p value: 0.038). Question 10 and 14 were associated with olfactory dysfunction after adjusting disease duration and gender (Question 10: p value: 0.011, OR: 3.91; Question 14: p value: 0.027, OR: 3.27). CONCLUSIONS: Gastrointestinal, urinary and a part of cardiovascular symptoms of SCOPA-AUT were associated with olfactory dysfunction in PD patients. |
