Abstract

The objective of this study is to investigate the clinical and demographic factors that influence the quality of life in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). This is a cross-sectional observational study of 47 patients in 2 hospitals with PD. All participants were asked to complete a disease-specific quality of life (QoL) questionnaire (PDQ-39). We gave a structured questionnaire interview and did a complete neurological examination on the same day. Additionally, we measured depression and dependency with the Geriatric Depression Scale-Short Form (GDS-SF) and the Korean version of the Modified Barthel Index (K-MBI). The PDQ-39 had a significant relationship with each motor part of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale, the Korean Mini-Mental State Examination (K-MMSE), the GDS-SF, and the K-MBI (p < 0.05). The factors that independently contributed to the PDQ-39 scores were K-MMSE, GDS-SF, and K-MBI (p < 0.05). Factors having the greatest influence on the PDQ-39 were K-MBI, K-MMSE, and GDS-SF in that order. In addition, the mobility item in the K-MBI was independently a significant relating factor in the PDQ-39 (p < 0.05). These results demonstrated that dependency, especially with the mobility issue, was the greatest influence on the QoL in patients with PD.
