Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Idiopathic/isolated REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) is associated with dementia with Lewy bodies and Parkinson disease. Despite evidence of abnormal cerebral perfusion in iRBD, there is currently no pattern that can predict whether an individual will develop dementia with Lewy bodies or Parkinson disease. The objective was to identify a perfusion signature associated with conversion to dementia with Lewy bodies in iRBD. METHODS Patients with iRBD underwent video-polysomnography, neurologic and neuropsychological assessments, and baseline 99mTc-HMPAO SPECT to assess relative cerebral blood flow. Partial least squares correlation was used to identify latent variables that maximized covariance between 27 clinical features and relative gray matter perfusion. Patient-specific scores on the latent variables were used to test the association with conversion to dementia with Lewy bodies compared with that with Parkinson disease. The signature's expression was also assessed in 24 patients with iRBD who underwent a second perfusion scan, 22 healthy controls, and 19 individuals with Parkinson disease. RESULTS Of the 137 participants, 93 underwent SPECT processing, namely 52 patients with iRBD (67.9 years, 73% men), 19 patients with Parkinson disease (67.3 years, 37% men), and 22 controls (67.0 years, 73% men). Of the 47 patients with iRBD followed up longitudinally (4.5 years), 12 (26%) developed a manifest synucleinopathy (4 dementia with Lewy bodies and 8 Parkinson disease). Analysis revealed 2 latent variables between relative blood flow and clinical features: the first was associated with a broad set of features that included motor, cognitive, and perceptual variables, age, and sex; the second was mostly associated with cognitive features and RBD duration. When brought back into the patient's space, the expression of the first variable was associated with conversion to a manifest synucleinopathy, whereas the second was associated with conversion to dementia with Lewy bodies. The expression of the patterns changed over time and was associated with worse motor features. DISCUSSION This study identified a brain perfusion signature associated with cognitive impairment in iRBD and transition to dementia with Lewy bodies. This signature, which can be derived from individual scans, has the potential to be developed into a biomarker that predicts dementia with Lewy bodies in at-risk individuals.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Isolated/idiopathic rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) is a powerful early predictor of dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and Parkinson's disease (PD). This provides an opportunity to directly observe the evolution of prodromal DLB and to identify which cognitive variables are the strongest predictors of evolving dementia. METHODS IRBD participants (n = 754) from 10 centers of the International RBD Study Group underwent annual neuropsychological assessment. Competing risk regression analysis determined optimal predictors of dementia. Linear mixed-effect models determined the annual progression of neuropsychological testing. RESULTS Reduced attention and executive function, particularly performance on the Trail Making Test Part B, were the strongest identifiers of early DLB. In phenoconverters, the onset of cognitive decline began up to 10 years prior to phenoconversion. Changes in verbal memory best differentiated between DLB and PD subtypes. DISCUSSION In iRBD, attention and executive dysfunction strongly predict dementia and begin declining several years prior to phenoconversion. HIGHLIGHTS Cognitive decline in iRBD begins up to 10 years prior to phenoconversion. Attention and executive dysfunction are the strongest predictors of dementia in iRBD. Decline in episodic memory best distinguished dementia-first from parkinsonism-first phenoconversion.

Progression of brain cholinergic dysfunction in patients with isolated rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder. Eur J Neurol 2024; 31:e16101.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reduced cortical acetylcholinesterase activity, as measured by 11 C-donepezil positron emission tomography (PET), has been reported in patients with isolated rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (iRBD). However, its progression and clinical implications have not been fully investigated. Here, we explored the relationship between longitudinal changes in brain acetylcholinesterase activity and cognitive function in iRBD. METHODS Twelve iRBD patients underwent 11 C-donepezil PET at baseline and after 3 years. PET images were interrogated with statistical parametric mapping (SPM) and a regions of interest (ROI) approach. Clinical progression was assessed with the Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale-Part III (MDS-UPDRS-III). Cognitive function was rated using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). RESULTS From baseline to follow-up, the mean 11 C-donepezil distribution volume ratio (DVR) decreased in the cortex (p = 0.006), thalamus (p = 0.013), and caudate (p = 0.013) ROI. Despite no significant changes in the group mean MMSE or MoCA scores being observed, individually, seven patients showed a decline in their scores on these cognitive tests. Subgroup analysis showed that only the subgroup of patients with a decline in cognitive scores had a significant reduction in mean cortical 11 C-donepezil DVR. CONCLUSIONS Our results show that severity of brain cholinergic dysfunction in iRBD patients increases significantly over 3 years, and those changes are more severe in those with a decline in cognitive test scores.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to assess the role of cognitive evaluation in the prediction of phenoconversion in polysomnography-confirmed idiopathic or isolated rapid eye movement sleep behaviour disorder, through a scoping review focussing on a longitudinal comprehensive neuropsychological assessment of patients with idiopathic REM sleep behaviour disorder. A literature search (2006-2022) yielded 1034 records, and 20 were selected for analysis. The sample included 899 patients from eight different cohorts and five countries. We extracted data on clinical evolution, mild cognitive impairment diagnosis, neuropsychological tests used, and classification of cognitive domains. Tests, cognitive domains, and mild cognitive impairment definitions were heterogeneous across the studies, precluding a meta-analysis. Ten studies (50%) evaluated the presence of mild cognitive impairment; 14 studies (70%) grouped neuropsychological tests into between three (6 studies, 21.4%) and seven (1 study, 7.1%) cognitive domains. The most frequently used tests were semantic fluency, Stroop colour word test, trail making test A and B, digit span, Rey auditory verbal learning test, and Rey-Osterrieth figure. All except digit span showed a role in predicting phenoconversion. The authors did not consistently assign tests to specific cognitive domains. In conclusion, we discuss methodological differences between the studies and highlight the need for a standardised framework for neuropsychological data acquisition and presentation, based on a multilevel approach covering test selection, domain assignment, and mild cognitive impairment diagnostic criteria.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Operationalized research criteria for mild cognitive impairment with Lewy bodies (MCI-LB) were published in 2020. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to review the evidence for the diagnostic clinical features and biomarkers in MCI-LB set out in the criteria. METHODS MEDLINE, PubMed, and Embase were searched on 9/28/22 for relevant articles. Articles were included if they presented original data reporting the rates of diagnostic features in MCI-LB. RESULTS Fifty-seven articles were included. The meta-analysis supported the inclusion of the current clinical features in the diagnostic criteria. Evidence for striatal dopaminergic imaging and meta-iodobenzylguanidine cardiac scintigraphy, though limited, supports their inclusion. Quantitative electroencephalogram (EEG) and fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (PET) show promise as diagnostic biomarkers. DISCUSSION The available evidence largely supports the current diagnostic criteria for MCI-LB. Further evidence will help refine the diagnostic criteria and understand how best to apply them in clinical practice and research. HIGHLIGHTS A meta-analysis of the diagnostic features of MCI-LB was carried out. The four core clinical features were more common in MCI-LB than MCI-AD/stable MCI. Neuropsychiatric and autonomic features were also more common in MCI-LB. More evidence is needed for the proposed biomarkers. FDG-PET and quantitative EEG show promise as diagnostic biomarkers in MCI-LB.

[PMID: 35437260 PMCID: PMC9231839 DOI: 10.1212/wnl.0000000000200326] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2021] [Accepted: 02/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and Objectives Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in isolated REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) is a risk factor for subsequent neurodegeneration. We aimed to identify brain metabolism and functional connectivity changes related to MCI in patients with iRBD and the neuroimaging markers' predictive value for phenoconversion. Methods This is a prospective cohort study of patients with iRBD with a mean follow-up of 4.2 ± 2.6 years. At baseline, patients with iRBD and age- and sex-matched healthy controls (HCs) underwent 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)–PET and resting-state fMRI scans and a comprehensive neuropsychological test battery. Voxel-wise group comparisons for FDG-PET data were performed using a general linear model. Seed-based connectivity maps were computed using brain regions showing significant hypometabolism associated with MCI in patients with iRBD and compared between groups. A Cox regression analysis was applied to investigate the association between brain metabolism and risk of phenoconversion. Results Forty patients with iRBD, including 21 with MCI (iRBD-MCI) and 19 with normal cognition (iRBD-NC), and 24 HCs were included in the study. The iRBD-MCI group revealed relative hypometabolism in the inferior parietal lobule, lateral and medial occipital, and middle and inferior temporal cortex bilaterally compared with HC and the iRBD-NC group. In seed-based connectivity analyses, the iRBD-MCI group exhibited decreased functional connectivity of the left angular gyrus with the occipital cortex. Of 40 patients with iRBD, 12 patients converted to Parkinson disease (PD) or dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). Hypometabolism of the occipital pole (hazard ratio [95% CI] 6.652 [1.387–31.987]), medial occipital (4.450 [1.143–17.327]), and precuneus (3.635 [1.009–13.093]) was associated with higher phenoconversion rate to PD/DLB. Discussion MCI in iRBD is related to functional and metabolic changes in broad brain areas, particularly the occipital and parietal areas. Moreover, hypometabolism in these brain regions was a predictor of phenoconversion to PD or DLB. Evaluation of cognitive function and neuroimaging characteristics could be useful for risk stratification in patients with iRBD.
