In Parkinson's disease (PD), poor sleep quality and sleep disorders are central part of the non-motor symptoms. The aim was to compare sleep quality (SQ), REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) among adults with and without Parkinson's disease (PD). A second objective was to know the relationship of SQ and RBD with EDS in patients with PD. Method. sixty adults (38 % women,  mean age 66.7 ± 8.11 years), 50 % with PD diagnosis and 50 % healthy controls, Instruments: Epworth Sleepiness Scale, Sleep Quality Pittsburgh Index and REM Behavioral Disorder Sleep Questionnaire, which was designed for this study. Results. Differences were found in SQ (PD = 9.90 ±4.47 vs Control group = 7.23 ±4.71, t = 2.25, p = .028), and the percentage of cases with symptoms of RBD (PD = 30%, control group = 6.7%, ji2 = 5.455, p = .020). No differences were found in EDS (PD = 7.43 ± 5.46 vs Control group = 6.50 ± 5.28, t = .673, p = .504). According to the linear regression analysis, the increase in EDS was not associated with SQ, EDS was only associated with RBD. Conclusion, the PD group presents a poor sleep quality and a higher prevalence of RBD symptoms. EDS did not differ between adults with and without PD. However, RBD was associated with an increase in EDS in the PD group.

AbstractREM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) has a poor prognostic implication in both motor and non-motor functions in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients. However, to the best of our knowledge no study to date investigated the longitudinal cerebral changes underlying RBD symptoms in PD. We performed the longitudinal study to investigate the association between probable RBD and cortical and subcortical changes in early, de novo PD patients. We studied 78 participants from the Parkinson’s Progression Marker Initiative who underwent structural MRI at baseline and after 2 years. The presence of probable RBD (pRBD) was evaluated using the RBD screening questionnaire. We compared the cross-sectional and longitudinal cortical thickness and subcortical volume changes, between PD patients with and without pRBD. At baseline, we found bilateral inferior temporal cortex thinning in the PD-pRBD group compared with the PD-noRBD group. Longitudinally, the PD-pRBD group revealed a significant increase in the rate of thinning in the left insula compared with the PD-noRBD group, and the increased thinning correlated with decreased cognitive performance. In subcortical volume analyses, the presence of pRBD was linked with volume decrease over time in the left caudate nucleus, pallidum and amygdala. The volume changes in the left caudate nucleus revealed correlations with global cognition. These results support the idea that RBD is an important marker of rapid progression in PD motor and non-motor symptoms and suggest that the atrophy in the left insula and caudate nucleus might be the underlying neurobiological mechanisms of the poorer prognosis in PD patients with RBD.
