MDS clinical diagnostic criteria for Parkinson's disease (2015, background): “clinicians can diagnose PD with greater accuracy than formal diagnostic criteria.(9) Therefore, until definitive validated diagnostic markers are available, clinical expert opinion will be the gold standard diagnostic technique in life.”
The accuracy of diagnosis of parkinsonian syndromes in a specialist movement disorder service. (2002, methodology): “A year later, a clinicopathological series from the UKPDSBRC found an identical diagnostic accuracy in cases collected from all over the UK (Hughes et al., 1992).”
Epidemiology of Parkinson’s disease (2017, background): “Defined diagnostic criteria of PD, like the UK Brain Bank Criteria (Hughes et al. 2001), increased the accuracy, but even after clinical observation over years, as used in these criteria, cases with diagnostic uncertainty remain (Rizzo et al.”
Characteristics of two distinct clinical phenotypes in pathologically proven progressive supranuclear palsy: Richardson's syndrome and PSP-parkinsonism. (2005, background): “clinicopathological reports where an incorrect ante-mortem diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease was made (Hughes et al., 2001).”
Contribution of cerebrovascular disease in autopsy confirmed neurodegenerative disease cases in the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Centre. (2013, background): “Clinical Alzheimer’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease diagnoses generally show a good clinicopathological correlation (Hughes et al., 2001; Toledo et al., 2012b), but clinical FTD syndromes and dementia with Lewy bodies are not as reliably predictive of the neuropatholo”
Parkinson's disease: a dual‐hit hypothesis (2007, background): “In some PD patients with normal UPSIT scores, the OERP was absent or delayed [33] , which implies that the olfactory deficit may be more frequent than indicated by UPSIT. Pathology-based studies indicate that the diagnostic error rate for PD is 10% or higher, and that olfactory identification is som”
The role of DAT-SPECT in movement disorders (2008, methodology): “this diagnostic accuracy, with a positive predictive value for those fulfilling pre-established diagnostic criteria of 90%.(1) Assessment of the clinical features”
Epidemiology and etiology of Parkinson’s disease: a review of the evidence (2011, background): “to suggest greater awareness among clinicians regarding diagnosis of PD [13].”
