Study on the similarities and differences of orthostatic hypotension in patients with Parkinson's disease and multiple system atrophy
Objective To summarize and compare the characteristics of orthostatic hypotension(OH)in patients with Parkinson's disease and multiple system atrophy(MSA).Methods The active standing test data of 210 Parkinson's disease patients(Parkinson's disease group)and 85 MSA patients(MSA group)admitted to the Department of Neurology,Xuanwu Hospital,Capital Medical University from January 2021 to March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.Demographic information,clinical data,Hoehn-Yahr staging,and Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale(UPDRS),Non-Motor Symptoms Questionnaire(NMSQ),Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale and Mini-Mental State Examination scores were collected.The comparative analysis of OH was conducted according to the changes of heart rate and blood pressure during the active standing test.Results Among the 85 patients with MSA,52 were found with MSA parkinsonism variant(MSA-P)and 33 with MSA cerebellar variant(MSA-C).The 210 Parkinson's disease patients were aged(61.5±11.0)years,with 116 males(55.2％).The 85 MSA patients were aged(60.1±6.8)years,with 44 males(51.8％).Compared with the Parkinson's disease group,the Hoehn-Yahr staging[2.0(2.0,3.0)vs 3.0(2.0,3.0),Z=-5.278,P＜0.001],NMSQ[25.0(11.0,46.5)vs 45.0(24.0,70.0),Z=-3.632,P＜0.001]and UPDRS scores[50.0(32.0,68.0)vs 65.5(44.5,78.5),Z=-3.073,P=0.003]in the MSA group were higher.The incidence of OH in the MSA group was higher than that in the Parkinson's disease group[63.5％(54/85)vs 25.7％(54/210),x2=37.284,P＜0.001],but there was no statistically significant difference between the MSA-P and MSA-C groups.Compared with the Parkinson's disease group,the MSA group had a higher incidence of classical OH[54.1％(46/85)vs 12.9％(27/210),x2=55.316,P＜0.001]and neurogenic OH[36.5％(31/85)vs 9.0％(19/210),x2=32.326,P＜0.001],but there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of initial OH and delayed OH between the two groups.The incidence of severe OH in the MSA group was also higher than that in the Parkinson's disease group[57.6％(49/85)vs 16.7％(35/210),x2=49.894,P＜0.001],but there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of pre-clinical OH and mild OH between the two groups.Conclusions The incidence,time change,severity and pathophysiological basis of OH in Parkinson's disease and MSA patients are different.Different types of OH may help to distinguish MSA from Parkinson's disease.
