Neurology Podcast - Part 2 - Predictive Value of Patients With Jaw Trimmer

Sana: By history it sounds like things like dream enactment behavior or some of the other non-motor features, constipation or hyposmia, did you look at those in patients with jaw trimmer? Does that sort of enrich our predictive value of patients who go on to develop Parkinson's or not really? We looked at upset scores which is a measure of smell and then we looked at dream enactment behavior, self-reported dream enactment behavior. But specifically for the dream enactment though, we did not find it to be necessarily helpful in predicting that final diagnosis that those with isolated jaw trimmer had. The hyposmia seemed to have been a little bit more helpful in that.
