The advantages and agreement and sensibility analysis of motor dysfunction rating scale for Parkinson's disease
Abstract：AIM: To analysis of the agreement and sensibility of motor dysfunction rating scale for Parkinson' s disease(MDRSPD) as well as the advantages of this scale.METHODS: Kappa test was introduced in the evaluation of the results from 5 raters for assessing the movement functions of 20 Parkinson' s disease (PD)patients. Student' s t test was introduced in the evaluation of the results before and after the treatment of 20 PD patients.RESULTS: The 15 items of the employed scale were tested by Kappa test with the Kmin = 0. 66 and Kmax = 0.97, and the scores of the 20 patients before and after treatment were 19. 68 + 7.94 and 16.03 + 7.19 respectively,which had a significant difference( t = 7.13, P ＜ 0. 001 ).CONCLUSION: MDRSPD agreement among different assessors is good and can sensitively reflect the disease variation, which can be used for evaluating disease severity as well as the treatment effectiveness in PD patients.
