In each cell, the number of patients observed and their proportions in rows are shown. For example, for the Jankovic classification, at baseline 22 (27.8%) patients were classified as TD, 51 (64.6%) patients were classified as PIGD, and 6 (7.6%) patients were classified as indeterminate. At 1-month follow up, 12 (54.5%) of the original TD subtype remained TD and 37 (72.5%) of the original PIGD subtype remained PIGD. Therefore, the motor subtypes of 49 (62.0%) patients with PD remained stable in the Jankovic classification from baseline to 1-month follow-up. TD, tremor-dominant; PIGD, postural instability and gait difficulty; AR: akinetic-rigid.
