Orthostatic hypotension and subjective symptomatic orthostasis in Parkinson's disease: Associations and correlations.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Both measured orthostatic hypotension and symptomatic orthostasis are common in PD but their relationship is unclear.

Objective

We aim to determine clinical predictors of both measured orthostatic hypotension and reported symptomatic orthostasis in PD, including the impact of "on"/"off" status and seasons, and to determine the correlation between measured OH and subjective orthostasis.

Methods

We analyzed BP readings, demographic and disease state predictors for both 1. Measured blood pressure OH criteria and 2. The subjective report of orthostatic symptoms, using logistic regression analyses from an initial "on" motor state clinical visit in all PD patient visits. We then correlated subjective orthostasis symptoms with BP measurements. We also compared int
