REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD), featured as acting out of dream, is the strongest known predictor for parkinsonism. It is estimated that idiopathic RBD patients have around 80-85% of phenoconversion rate to parkinsonism within five years, upon the first clinical visit. Since polysomnography test is expensive and time-consuming, several questionnaires were developed over the years to pre-screen for possible RBD patients in clinic. This webinar presents research that aims to improve the accuracy of RBD screening tools using the population-based cohort from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging.
