White matter hyperintensities in cognitive impairment with Lewy body disease: a multicentre study
European journal of neurology(2023)
摘要
Background and purpose: White matter hyperintensities (WMHs) are associated with cognitive deficits and worse clinical outcomes in dementia, but rare studies have been carried out of cognitive impairment in Lewy body disease (CI-LB) patients. The objective was to investigate the associations between WMHs and clinical manifestations in patients with CI-LB.Methods: In this retrospective multicentre cohort study, 929 patients (486 with dementia with Lewy bodies [DLB], 262 with Parkinson's disease dementia [PDD], 74 with mild cognitive impairment [MCI] with Lewy bodies [MCI-LB] and 107 with Parkinson's disease with MCI [PD-MCI]) were analysed from 22 memory clinics between January 2018 and June 2022. Demographic and clinical data were collected by reviewing medical records. WMHs were semi-quantified according to the Fazekas method. Associations between WMHs and clinical manifestations were investigated by multivariate linear or logistic regression models.Results: Dementia with Lewy bodies patients had the highest Fazekas scores compared with PDD, MCI-LB and PD-MCI. Multivariable regressions showed the Fazekas score was positively associated with the scores of Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Part III (p = 0.001), Hoehn-Yahn stage (p = 0.004) and total Neuropsychiatric Inventory (p = 0.001) in MCI-LB and PD-MCI patients. In patients with DLB and PDD, Fazekas scores were associated with the absence of rapid eye movement sleep behaviour disorder (p = 0.041) and scores of Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Part III (p < 0.001), Hoehn-Yahn stage (p < 0.001) and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (p = 0.014).Conclusion: White matter hyperintensity burden of DLB was higher than for PDD, MCI-LB and PD-MCI. The greater WMH burden was significantly associated with poorer cognitive performance, worse motor function and more severe neuropsychiatric symptoms in CI-LB.
