Serum albumin, cognitive function, motor impairment, and survival prognosis in Parkinson disease.

ABSTRACT: The role of albumin in Parkinson disease (PD) is not well understood, our study will investigate the association between the serum albumin level and risk of dementia, motor impairment, as well as survival outcome in PD. Data were obtained from the publicly available dataset in the DRYAD database (https://datadryad.org/). The original prospective study enrolled patients with PD from a single center in Japan between March 2004 and November 2007. Due to missing values, 242 and 274 participants were included in the study, in which we aimed to, respectively, analyze the relationship between serum albumin and cognitive function as well as motor impairment; additionally, 264 participants were included to assess the association between baseline serum albumin levels and risk of PD-related death wit
