  1. Risk and predictors of dementia and parkinsonism in idiopathic REM sleep behaviour disorder: a multicentre study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 73 out of 100. Brain : a journal of neurology 2019-03-01 How common it is

    The overall conversion rate from iRBD to an overt neurodegenerative syndrome was 6.3% per year, with 73.5% converting after 12-year follow-up.

  2. Parkinson risk in idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder: preparing for neuroprotective trials

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 71 out of 100. Neurology 2015-02-13 How common it is

    Using stratification with simply assessed markers, it is now not only possible, but practical to include patients with RBD in neuroprotective trials against Parkinson disease, multiple system atrophy, and dementia with Lewy bodies.

  3. REM sleep behavior disorder preceding other aspects of synucleinopathies by up to half a century

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. Neurology 2010-07-28 Risk factors

    These cases illustrate that the alpha-synuclein pathogenic process may start decades before the first symptoms of PD, DLB, or MSA.
