Abstract

Abstract:

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics and related risk factors of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with white matter lesions (WML). Methods A total of 127 PD patients admitted to the Neurology Department of Suzhou Hospital Affiliated to Anhui Medical University from February 2022 to September 2023 were selected, and their clinical data were collected. According to the modified Fazekas scale, participants were divided into normal group (n=15), mild abnormal group (n=43), moderate abnormal group (n=45), and severe abnormal group (n=24). The clinical data differences among the four groups were compared. Spearman correlation analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to study the risk factors for the severity of WML in PD patients. Results There were no significant differences in the gender, hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, Self-Rating Anxiety/ Depression Scale score, Parkinson's Disease Sleep Scale score, uric acid, triglycerides, total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol among the four groups (P>0.05). There were significant differences in the age, Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale-part Ⅲ (UPDRS Ⅲ), Hoehn and Yahr (HY) staging, Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score, homocysteine (HCY), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels (P<0.05). Age, UPDRS Ⅲ scores, HY staging, and HCY level were positively correlated with the severity of WML in PD patients (r=0.759, 0.319, 0.378, and 0.545, respectively; P<0.01). The MMSE score, MoCA score, and HDL-C level were negatively correlated with the severity of WML in PD patients (r=-0.510, -0.524, and -0.319, respectively; P<0.01). Age and HCY level were risk factors for the severity of WML in PD patients (P<0.05), while HDL-C level was a protective factor (P<0.05). Conclusion WML exacerbates motor symptoms and cognitive impairment in PD patients. The age and HCY are risk factors for the severity of WML in PD patients, while HDL-C is a protective factor.
