The spectrum of nonmotor symptoms in early Parkinson disease
Why is this work in the frame?
A frame that forgets how it found something cannot be audited. These are the routes that admitted this work.
No Canadian affiliation. An affiliation-only frame — the usual design — would never have seen this work. It is one of the works that make the case for inverting the frame.
Machine scores (provisional)
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Nonmotor symptoms (NMS) are common in patients with established Parkinson disease (PD) but their frequency in early PD has not been extensively studied. Our aim was to determine the frequency of NMS in a cohort of patients with newly diagnosed PD. METHODS: A total of 159 patients with early PD and 99 healthy controls participated in this study. NMS were screened for using the nonmotor symptom questionnaire. Other assessments included measures of motor disability (Movement Disorders Society-revised unified Parkinson's disease rating scale [MDS-UPDRS]), disease severity (Hoehn & Yahr staging), depression (geriatric depression scale), and global cognitive function (Mini-mental state examination and Montreal cognitive assessment). RESULTS: The PD group reported a significantly greater number of NMS compared with controls (8.4 [4.3] vs. 2.8 [2.6]). In the PD group, the most commonly experienced NMS were excessive saliva, forgetfulness, urinary urgency, hyposmia, and constipation. Patients with higher MDS-UPDRS III scores and those with the postural instability gait subtype experienced a greater number of NMS. CONCLUSION: NMS are common in early PD and reflect the multisystem nature of the disorder. Even in the earliest stages of PD, NMS may be detrimental to patients' functional status and sense of well-being.
