Abstract

Background

The burden of non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD) can be measured with the Non-Motor Symptoms Scale (NMSS) and the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society Non-Motor Rating Scale (MDS-NMS), for which scoring systems, structure and clinical coverage differ.

Objectives

The goal was to develop conversion formulas between the NMSS and the MDS-NMS scores.

Methods

Data from 402 patients with PD participating in the primary MDS-NMS validation study were used. The association between domain and total scores of both scales was assessed by the Spearman rank correlation coefficient and Kendall's W concordance coefficient. Equations for between-scale transformation of total score were constructed from weighted linear regression models.

Results

Spearman rank correlations showed that MDS-NMS domains correlated 0.39 to 0.88 with the corresponding NMSS domains. The equation for transforming the NMSS total score to MDS-NMS total score is: MDS-NMS = 11.629 + 1.624 × NMSS (P < 0.001, R² = 0.748). For converting the MDS-NMS total score to NMSS total score, the formula is NMSS = 2.475 + 0.495 × MDS-NMS (P < 0.001, R² = 0.771).

帕金森病中NMSS和MDS‐NMS之间的转换

帕金森病（PD）的非运动症状负担可以用非运动症状量表（NMSS）和国际帕金森与运动障碍学会非运动评定量表（MDS - NMS）来衡量，这两种评分系统、结构和临床覆盖范围不同。目的：建立NMSS和MDS - NMS评分之间的转换公式。方法采用402例PD患者的数据，这些患者参与了MDS - NMS的初步验证研究。采用Spearman秩相关系数和Kendall's W一致性系数评价两个量表的域和总分之间的相关性。用加权线性回归模型构建总分的尺度间变换方程。结果spearman秩相关分析显示，MDS‐NMS域与相应的NMSS域的相关系数为0.39 ~ 0.88。将NMSS总分转化为MDS‐NMS总分的公式为：MDS‐NMS = 11.629 + 1.624 × NMSS (P <；0.001, r2 = 0.748)。将MDS‐NMS总分转换为NMSS总分，公式为：NMSS = 2.475 + 0.495 × MDS‐NMS (P <；0.001, r2 = 0.771)。结论sour转换方程可以直接比较NMSS和MDS‐NMS仪器，促进了研究间数据的可比性。©2025国际帕金森和运动障碍学会。
