class="figure-viewer-img"

Figure 1. Motor progression between PD-MCI and PD-NC. (A) Progression slopes of H&Y score in PD-MCI and PD-NC group were 0.11 vs. 0.06, p=0.03. (B) Progression slopes of UPDRS motor score in PD-MCI and PD-NC group were 3.11 vs. 1.90 p=0.00. (C) Progression slopes of PIGD score in PD-MCI and PD-NC group were 0.45 vs. 0.24, p=0.02. Longitudinal linear mixed model was performed to compare the progression slopes of motor outcomes between PD-MCI and PD-NC group; analysis has been adjusted for age of diagnosis, sex and education year.
