Abstract
Dementia is an exclusion criterion in current consensus diagnostic criteria, while
growing evidence suggests the occurrence of cognitive dysfunction and even dementia
in multiple system atrophy (MSA) patients. The main goal of this study was to determine
if Movement Disorder Society (MDS) Parkinson's disease dementia (PDD) LEVEL-1 criteria
are useful in screening for dementia in MSA patients compared to full cognitive testing
(LEVEL-2 criteria).
