Abstract
Purpose Psychiatric comorbidity in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and atypical parkinsonian syndromes (APS) has been consistently associated with poor outcomes. However, the co-occurrence of multiple psychiatric disorders has been sparsely studied. This study examines the prevalence, patterns, and correlates of psychiatric comorbidity and multimorbidity among in-patients hospitalised with PD/APS. Methods Patients (N-110 [PD-71, APS-39]) underwent a single cross-sectional assessment. Psychiatric comorbidity was examined using the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview. Other domains assessed include sleep disorders, quality of life, and caregiver burden. Statistical analysis In addition to descriptive statistics, multinomial logistic regression was used to examine the effect of sociodemographic and clinical factors on comorbidities. Results The prevalence of psychiatric comorbidity in patients with PD and APS was 77.00% and 71.79%, with approximately half of those having co-occurrence of multiple psychiatric disorders. In both disorders, depression was the most common, followed by anxiety disorder. The two commonest patterns of multimorbidity reported in PD were the combination of depression and anxiety disorder, followed by the combination of psychosis, depression, and anxiety, with the order being reversed in APS. When compared to those without, those with single psychiatric comorbidity had higher odds of having REM sleep behaviour disorder and caregiver stress. Those with multiple psychiatric comorbidities had higher odds of being female, higher UPDRS part-1 scores, REM sleep behaviour disorder, poor sleep quality, and caregiver stress. Conclusion Psychiatric illness is highly comorbid among patients with PD/APS, with most having multiple co-occurring psychiatric illnesses. Clinicians must be aware to ensure early detection and intervention.
