No: no data

aRolinski use Epworth Sleeping Scale instead of PDSS, difference is significant

bYoritaka and Vibha use minimum clinical criteria of ICSD for RBD diagnosis instead

N No

N-tremor prominent Non-tremor prominent

OH Orthostatic hypotension

Y Yes

RCP RBDSQ cutoff points

Overall motor symptoms and signs were similar but we found significant difference between the two groups in many aspects of non-motor symptoms, including MMSE performance, visual hallucinations, depression, anxiety, orthostatic hypotension and constipation. Except for constipation, these results are consistent with most previous studies
