Modeling the progression of Parkinson's Disease: comparison of subjects with and without Sleep Disorders
Résumé
Patients with idiopathic Parkinson’s Disease (iPD) may have very different patterns of
progression, corresponding to distinct disease subtypes. Here, we describe quantitatively the
overall pattern of progression in subgroups of PD by using a Bayesian non-linear mixed effect
model that describes the continuous progression of biomarkers at both population and
individual level. This approach allows to model variability in progression patterns and disease
stage between patients. We analyzed two subgroups of patients, with (iPD-RBD+) and without
sleep disorders (iPD-RBD-), that are known to present different patterns of progression [1]. We
compared the two groups by extracting the ordering of abnormalities that occurred over the
disease course, and by studying their disease onset and speed of progression.
