Capturing subjective cognitive decline with a new combined index in low education patients with Parkinson's disease.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Subjective Cognitive Decline (SCD) refers to self-reported cognitive decline with normal global cognition. This study aimed to capture SCD among low educated patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) using a newly established indicator.

Methods

We recruited 64 PD patients with low education levels (education ≤12 years) for the study. The presence of SCD was determined based on a Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Part I (1.1) score ≥ 1. Spearman analysis and multivariate binary logistic regression analyses were conducted to investigate factors associated with the PD-SCD group. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the new combined index.

Results

The prevalence of SCD in PD patients was 4
