Abstract:
Objective To investigate the prevalence of fatigue symptoms and investigate its related factors in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).Methods The Parkinson's Fatigue Scale (PFS-16) was used to assess the fatigue status of 453 PD patients.These patients were divided into fatigue group (mean PFS-16≥3.3 defined as fatigue) and non-fatigue group.All of them completed the assessment of the relevant scale.Results Among 453 PD patients,there were 169 patients (37.3％) in fatigue group and 284 patients (62.7％) in non-fatigue group.Unified Parkinson's disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) and HoehnYahr (H-Y) staging in fatigue group were significantly higher than non-fatigue group (P ＜0.05).Motor symptoms,mental and emotional status and daily living ability are positively correlated with fatigue symptoms.Conclusions The motor symptoms and non-motor symptoms are more serious in PD patients with fatigue.The motor symptoms,mental and emotional status,daily living ability and Hoehn-Yahr (H-Y) stage are the main related factors of fatigue symptoms in PD patients.
