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

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
