Evolution of mild cognitive impairment in Parkinson disease
2013
Objective: We examined the development of Parkinson disease (PD)–mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in patients with newly diagnosed PD over 5 years using recently proposed consensus criteria, and we assessed the reliability of the criteria. Methods: Patients with PD (n = 123) underwent extensive neuropsychological testing at baseline and after 3 (n = 93) and 5 years (n = 59). Two neuropsychologists independently applied the PD-MCI criteria to examine the interrater and intrarater reliability. Results: At baseline, 35% of patients had PD-MCI. Three years later, 53% of the patients had PD-MCI. At 5-year follow-up, 20 patients who had PD-MCI at an earlier assessment had converted to PD dementia and 50% of the remaining patients without dementia had MCI. The interrater reliability (kappa) was 0.91. The intrarater reliabilities were 0.85 and 0.96. Conclusion: Approximately one-third of patients with newly diagnosed PD fulfill the consensus criteria for PD-MCI; after 5 years, this proportion is approximately 50% of patients without dementia. The criteria have good interrater and intrarater reliability.
