Assessment of affective-behavioral states in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) undergoing deep brain stimulation (DBS) is essential.
OBJECTIVE
To analyze well-established questionnaires as a pilot-study with the long term aim to develop a screening tool evaluating affective-behavioral dysfunction, including depression, anxiety, apathy, mania, and impulse control disorders, in PD patients screened for DBS.
METHODS
Two hundred ninety-seven inpatients with PD underwent standardized neuropsychiatric testing including German versions of Beck Depression Inventory-II, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Apathy Evaluation Scale, Self-Report Manic Inventory, and Questionnaire for Impulsive-Compulsive Disorders in PD-Rating Scale, to assess appropriateness for DBS. Statistical item reduction was based on exploratory factor analysis, Cronbach's alpha, item-total correlations, item difficulty, and inter-item correlations. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to assess factorial validity. An expert rating was performed to identify clinically relevant items in the context of PD and DBS, to maintain content validity. We compared the shortened subscales with the original questionnaires using correlations. To determine cutoff points, receiver operating characteristics analysis was performed.
RESULTS
The items of the initial questionnaires were reduced from 129 to 38 items. Results of confirmatory factor analyses supported the validity of the shortened pool. It demonstrated high internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.72-0.83 across subscales), and the individual subscales were correlated with the corresponding original scales (rs = 0.84-0.95). Sensitivities and specificities exceeded 0.7.
CONCLUSION
The shortened item pool, including 38 items, provides a good basis for the development of a screening tool, capturing affective-behavioral symptoms in PD patients before DBS implantation. Confirmation of the validity of such a screening tool in an independent sample of PD patients is warranted.
