Relative contribution of comorbid diseases to health-related quality of life in patients with Parkinson’s disease
The most marked differences in HRQoL were in the dimensions of secretion, usual activities, and sexual activity. Pattern detection of 15D health dimensions enabled the detection of a subgroup with disproportionately poor HRQoL in non-motor dimensions. The comorbid diseases affecting most to HRQoL were memory deficit and depression. The generic 15D questionnaire can be used in the evaluation of HRQoL in PD patients.
