Diagnosis | Statistic | Included Subjects† | Excluded Subjects† | P∗ |
---|---|---|---|---|
Alzheimer disease | N (subjects,∗ eyes) | 35, 47 | 15, 20 | |
Mean MMSE (SD) | 22.0 (4.8) | 22.9 (4.7) | 0.519 | |
Mild cognitive impairment | N (subjects,∗ eyes) | 55, 85 | 21, 23 | |
Mean MMSE (SD) | 26.9 (3.3) | 26.6 (3.3) | 0.684 | |
Parkinson disease | N (subjects,∗ eyes) | 53, 87 | 20, 38 | |
Mean MMSE (SD) | 28.8 (1.6) | 27.8 (2.4) | 0.043 | |
Mean Modified Hoehn and Yahr scale (SD) | 2.04 (0.58) | 2.15 (0.56) | 0.053 | |
Normal cognition | N (subjects,∗ eyes) | 92, 156 | 28, 39 | |
Mean MMSE (SD) | 29.4 (1.3) | 29.3 (1.3) | 0.767 |
MMSE = Mini Mental State Examination (range, 0–30); SD = standard deviation. Boldface indicates statistical significance.
Modified Hoehn & Yahr Scale, describing the severity of Parkinson disease motor symptoms (range: 1 least involved to 4 most involved).
P value based on a Mann–Whitney U test for unequal means for MMSE and Modified Hoehn Yahr Scale.
The sum of included subjects and excluded subjects, N, may not match the total number of subjects reported per diagnosis in Table 1, due to some subjects having 1 eye included and 1 eye excluded.
