BackgroundExcessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and freezing of gait (FOG) are prevalent non-motor and motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), significantly impacting their quality of life. However, the correlation between EDS and FOG progression in de novo PD patients remains controversial.MethodsA total of 328 participants from the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI) were divided into two groups: 43 with EDS (EDS group) and 285 without EDS (nEDS group). The cumulative incidence of FOG was assessed at the 5-year follow-up using Kaplan-Meier and log-rank tests. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess the impact of EDS on FOG progression in PD patients, with validation for robustness through sensitivity and subgroup analyses.ResultsThe EDS group experienced a higher incidence of FOG throughout the 5-year follow-up than did the nEDS group. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards models showed significantly association between EDS severity and enhanced risk of developing FOG (HR = 1.076, 95% CI:1.007 ~ 1.149, P = 0.031). For sensitivity analysis, parallel analyses were performed by substituting the independent variable with categorical variables, which yielded analogous outcomes (HR = 1.837, 95% CI:1.063 ~ 3.174, P = 0.029). Furthermore, subgroup analyses based on sex, age, TD/PIGD classification, depressive symptoms, cognitive impairment, mean caudate nucleus uptake level, mean putamen nucleus uptake level and CSF Aβ-42 level revealed no significant interactions between subgroups (all P values for interaction were > 0.05).ConclusionEDS is a potential prognosis factor for the progression of FOG in patients with PD.
