To determine the prevalence and clinical effect of ophthalmologic symptoms in patients with Parkinson disease (PD), compared with controls, using a standardized questionnaire.
In this observational, cross-sectional, multicenter study, 848 patients with PD and 250 healthy controls completed the Visual Impairment in Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (VIPD-Q). The VIPD-Q addressed 4 domains according to structures: (1) ocular surface; (2) intraocular; (3) oculomotor; and (4) optic nerve. The questionnaire also assessed the effect of ophthalmologic symptoms on daily activities.
One or more ophthalmologic symptoms were reported by 82% (95% confidence interval [CI], 80-85) of patients, compared with 48% (95% CI, 42-54) of controls ( < 0.001). Patients with PD experienced more ophthalmologic symptoms across all domains than controls ( < 0.001), as reflected by a higher VIPD-Q total score among patients (median 10 [interquartile range (IQR) 13]) than controls (median 2 [IQR 5]; < 0.001). Ophthalmologic symptoms interfered with daily activities in 68% (95% CI, 65-71) of patients, compared with 35% (95% CI, 29-41) of controls ( < 0.001).
Patients with PD have a higher prevalence of ophthalmologic symptoms than controls. Moreover, these frequently interfere with daily activities. A screening questionnaire such as the VIPD-Q may help with identifying ophthalmologic symptoms in PD, thereby enabling more timely treatment.
使用标准化问卷,确定帕金森病(PD)患者与对照组相比,眼部症状的患病率和临床影响。
在这项观察性、横断面、多中心研究中,848 名 PD 患者和 250 名健康对照者完成了帕金森病眼部损害问卷(VIPD-Q)。该问卷根据结构分为 4 个领域:(1)眼表面;(2)眼内;(3)眼运动;(4)视神经。问卷还评估了眼部症状对日常活动的影响。
82%(95%置信区间[CI],80-85)的患者报告存在 1 种或多种眼部症状,而对照组为 48%(95% CI,42-54)(<0.001)。与对照组相比,PD 患者在所有领域都经历了更多的眼部症状(<0.001),这反映在患者的 VIPD-Q 总分更高(中位数 10[四分位距[IQR] 13])而对照组中位数为 2[IQR 5];<0.001)。68%(95% CI,65-71)的患者眼部症状干扰了日常活动,而对照组为 35%(95% CI,29-41)(<0.001)。
PD 患者眼部症状的患病率高于对照组。此外,这些症状常常会干扰日常活动。VIPD-Q 等筛查问卷有助于识别 PD 中的眼部症状,从而能够及时进行治疗。
