摘要

BACKGROUND Constipation as a most common non-motor symptom of Parkinson's disease(PD),has a higher prevalence compared to the general population.The etiologies of constipation in PD are diverse.In addition to physical weakness and other factors of disease,the lifestyles and eating habits are also important factors.Therefore,the prevalence and influencing factors of constipation may vary among different populations.AIM To determine the prevalence of constipation and analyze relative factors in a cohort of Chinese patients with PD.METHODS All the patients diagnosed with PD according to the movement disorders society criteria were consecutively collected by a self-developed questionnaire.Rome III diagnostic criteria were used to assess functional constipation and Wexner score was used to estimate the severity of constipation.Non-motor symptoms(NMS)were assessed with the non-motor symptoms assessment scale(NMSS).Unified Parkinson's disease Rating Scale III(UPDRS III)was used to evaluate the severity of motor symptoms.The modified Hoehn-Yahr stage was used to evaluate the severity of PD.Cognitive function was assessed using Montreal cognitive assessment(MoCA).Depression and anxiety were rated with the Hamilton depression scale(HAMD)and the Hamilton anxiety scale(HAMA).Quality of life was assessed using the Parkinson’s disease Questionnaire-39 items(PDQ-39).RESULTS Of 166 patients enrolled,87(52.41%)were accompanied with constipation,and 30(34.48%)experienced constipation for 6.30±5.06 years before motor symptoms occurred.Age,Hoehn-Yahr stage,disease duration,levodopa medication times,incidence of motor complications,the scores of UPDRS total,UPDRS III,NMSS,HAMD,HAMA,and PDQ-39 in the constipation group were higher than those in the non-constipation group(P<0.05),but there was no difference in the scores of MoCA,clinical types,or medications between the two groups(P>0.05).There was a higher incidence of depression in patients with constipation(P<0.05),but there were no difference in the incidence of anxiety and cogn
