Abstract:

Objective To investigate and analyze the incidence and risk factors of freezing of gait (FOG) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), construct and verify the quantitative nomogram predictive model. Methods A total of 208 PD patients were retrospectively summarized. According to clinical symptoms, 98 patients were diagnosed as the FOG group and 110 patients were diagnosed as the non-FOG group. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to screen risk factors of FOG, and the nomogram model was established. Results Univariate comparison showed that age, initial age of PD, course of PD, scores of PD questionnaire (PDQ39), Hamilton depression scale (HAMD-17) and anxiety scale (HAMA-14), rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder screening questionnaire (RBDSQ) and Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) were significantly higher in the FOG group than those in the non-FOG group. The visuospatial dysfunction and modified Hoehn-Yahr (H-Y) grade were significantly higher in the FOG group than those in the non-FOG group, while the score of Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) was less in the FOG group (P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that higher RBDSQ score (OR=2.724, 95%CI: 1.458-5.090), PDQ39 score (OR=7.358, 95%CI: 2.448-22.078), visuospatial dysfunction (OR=2.134, 95%CI: 1.349-3.376) and H-Y grade (OR=4.272, 95%CI: 1.886-9.673) were independent risk factors to FOG in PD patients. R software was used to establish the nomogram model, and total score was 120. The area under the curve (AUC) of the model for predicting FOG by receiver operating curve (ROC) was 0.867 (95%CI: 0.810-0.935, P<0.001), suggesting that the predictive efficiency of the model was good. Hosmer - lemeshow test showed that the goodness of fit of the model was good (χ2=2.635, P=0.642). The calibration curve showed that the predictive probability of the model was in good agreement with the actual incidence. The decision curve showed that the benefit of the model was acceptable. Conclusion Patients with PD have a high incidence of FOG. RBDSQ score, PDQ 39 score, visuospatial dysfunction and H-Y grade are independent risk factors. The established nomogram model is effective in predicting FOG.
