RESUMEN
REM sleep behaviour disorder (RBD) is common in narcolepsy type 1 (NT1). Abnormalities in the reward system have been observed in NT1, possibly related to impaired orexin projections towards the mesolimbic reward system, but also in RBD when associated with Parkinson's disease. Our study aimed to explore the psychobehavioural profile of NT1 patients with and without RBD compared with healthy controls (HC). Forty patients with NT1 were compared with 20 sex- and age-matched HC. All patients with NT1 underwent a video-polysomnography including a measure of REM sleep without atonia (RSWA). The following neuropsychobehavioural variables were assessed: apathy, impulsivity, depression, cognition, subjective and objective attention, sensation-seeking, and behavioural addictions. The patient population included 22 patients with NT1-RBD and 18 patients with NT1-noRBD. Compared with the healthy controls, patients with NT1 had higher scores of apathy, impulsivity, and depression; a lower score on global cognition, and poorer self-perceived attention. No differences were found between patients with NT1 with and without RBD in all neuropsychological variables, except for impaired objective attention in patients with NT1-RBD. In patients with NT1, a positive correlation was observed between RSWA and both apathy and impulsivity subscale. Moreover, in patients with NT1-RBD, RSWA was positively correlated with depression. Patients with NT1 showed higher depression, apathy, and impulsivity compared with controls. These measures correlate with the severity of RSWA, suggesting a transdiagnostic association between RBD and abnormalities of the reward system at least for patients with NT1.

This study aimed to correlate REM sleep without atonia (RSWA) and neuropsychological data in patients with idiopathic/isolated REM sleep behaviour disorder (iRBD) and those with RBD associated with Parkinson's disease (PDRBD), in order to assess whether higher degrees of RSWA are related to poorer cognitive performance. A total of 142 subjects were enrolled: 48 with iRBD, 55 with PDRBD, and 39 PD without RBD (PDnoRBD). All participants underwent video-polysomnographic recording, clinical and neuropsychological assessment. RSWA was quantified according to two manual scoring methods (Montréal, SINBAR) and one automated (REM atonia index, RAI). Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) was diagnosed according to diagnostic criteria for MCI in Parkinson's disease. The relationship between neuropsychological scores and RSWA metrics was explored by multiple linear regression analysis and logistic regression models. Patients with iRBD showed significantly lower visuospatial functions and working memory, compared with the others. More severe RSWA was associated with a higher risk of reduced visuospatial abilities (OR 0.15), working memory (OR 2.48), attention (OR 2.53), and semantic fluency (OR 0.15) in the iRBD. In the whole group, a greater RSWA was associated with an increased risk for depressive symptoms (OR 3.6). A total of 57(40%) MCI subjects were found (17 iRBD, 26 PDRBD, and 14 PDnoRBD). Preserved REM-atonia was associated with a reduced odds of multi-domain MCI in the whole study population (OR 0.54). In conclusion, a greater severity of RSWA was associated with an increased risk for poor cognitive performance and depressive mood in patients with RBD. Moreover, higher RAI was associated with a lower risk of multi-domain MCI.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the association between rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) and other determinants and incident impulse control disorder behaviors (ICBs) in patients with early Parkinson disease (PD) using longitudinal data from the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative. METHODS: Four hundred one newly diagnosed PD patients were prospectively evaluated at baseline (BL), month 6, and annually for 5 years. Probable RBD (pRBD) was assessed with the RBD Screening Questionnaire (RBDSQ) and dichotomized using a cutoff value of ≥6. The association of BL and time-dependent (TD) pRBD and other covariates with the development of ICB symptoms was evaluated using Cox proportional hazards regression and general estimating equation logistic regression. Models considered adjustment for age, sex, Movement Disorders Society Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale part III, Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15), RBD medication use, total levodopa equivalent daily dose, and dopamine agonist (DA) and antidepressant medication use. RESULTS: Both BL pRBD and TD pRBD were not associated with an increased risk for incident ICB symptoms after adjustment for covariates (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] = 1.17, p = 0.458 and HR = 1.27, p = 0.257, respectively). In a modified TD pRBD model (ie, considering subjects as pRBD onward from the first time point with RBDSQ score ≥ 6), the risk for incident ICB symptoms was higher in pRBD in unadjusted (HR = 1.48, p = 0.038) but not adjusted (HR = 1.29, p = 0.203) models. TD DA use (HR = 1.64, p = 0.039), TD GDS-15 score (HR = 1.12, p < 0.001), and male sex (year 3: HR = 2.10, p = 0.009; year 4: HR = 3.04, p = 0.006; year 5: HR = 4.40, p = 0.007) were associated with increased ICB symptom risk. INTERPRETATION: pRBD is not clearly associated with ICB symptom development in early PD, in contrast to DA use, depression, and male sex. ANN NEUROL 2020;88:759-770.

PURPOSE: Eating disorders are common in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients and often class in Impulse control disorders, however, little is known about their phenomenology. Specific symptoms and comorbidities were described in a group of PD patients in this preliminary study. METHODS: Over a period of 6 months, 51 PD patients who experienced significant changes in eating habits following diagnosis of PD and were interviewed during regularly scheduled follow-up visits. We assessed each patient's height and weight, impulsivity, psychological distress, current eating disorder symptoms, food addiction, food habits and craving. RESULTS: Among the PD patients who experienced modified dietary habits following diagnosis, few exhibited binge eating disorders (BED) full criteria (3.9%). However, 21.6% of patients experienced episodes of out-of-control eating with a large quantity of food in short time and 39.2% satisfied food addiction (FA) criteria without binge eating disorder. Food cravings more than once a week were experienced in approximately half of the population including all FA patients. Regarding comorbidities, FA PD patients present impulsive features and anxiety. CONCLUSIONS: This study confirms the existence of FA profile in PD patients. Eating disorders even in PD are complex and have a cross-cutting criteria related to out-of-control eating, FA, and BED. The association of anxiety with PD-related food addiction, contrary to L-dopa equivalent daily dose mean score or the presence of dopamine agonists, underline the complex sustainability of the dopaminergic brainstem support. A study on their detailed prevalence in this population could be helpful to better understand unspecified feeding or eating disorder. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: DR-2012-007.

INTRODUCTION: Because the association between rapid eye movement sleep behaviour disorder (RBD) and impulse control disorders (ICDs) in Parkinson's disease (PD) has been debated, we assessed the sleep characteristics and the frequency of RBD using video-polysomnography (v-PSG) in patients with PD with versus without ICDs. METHODS: Eighty non-demented patients with PD consecutively identified during routine evaluation at three movement disorders centres were enrolled in a case-control study. Forty patients (22 men; mean age: 62.6±9.7 years, Hoehn & Yahr: 2.1±0.6) with one or more current ICDs were age-matched and sex-matched with 40 patients with no history of ICDs (22 men, mean age: 64.9±7.8 years, Hoehn & Yahr: 2.2±0.6). They underwent a detailed sleep interview followed by a full-night in-lab v-PSG. Sleep was scored blindly to ICDs condition and RBD diagnosis included a clinical complaint of enacted dreams and/or documented behaviour during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, with the presence of quantified REM sleep without atonia (RSWA). RESULTS: Patients with ICDs had a higher arousal index and higher RSWA than those without ICDs (51.9%±28.2%vs 32.2±27.1%, p=0.004). In addition, RBD was more frequent in the ICD group (85%vs53%, p=0.0001). RBD was still associated with ICDs in a multivariate regression analysis including age of onset, PD duration and severity, treatment duration, levodopa-equivalent and dopamine agonist-equivalent daily doses and antidepressant use (OR: 4.9 (95% CI 1.3 to 18.5), p=0.02). CONCLUSIONS: This large, controlled series of patients with PD with ICDs assessed by v-PSG confirms the association between ICDs and RBD. Increased surveillance of symptoms of ICDs should be recommended in patients with PD with RBD.

OBJECTIVE: To assess whether risk factors for Parkinson disease and dementia with Lewy bodies increase rate of defined neurodegenerative disease in idiopathic rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD). METHODS: Twelve centers administered a detailed questionnaire assessing risk factors for neurodegenerative synucleinopathy to patients with idiopathic RBD. Variables included demographics, lifestyle factors, pesticide exposures, occupation, comorbid conditions, medication use, family history, and autonomic/motor symptoms. After 4 years of follow-up, patients were assessed for dementia or parkinsonism. Disease risk was assessed with Kaplan-Meier analysis, and epidemiologic variables were compared between convertors and those still idiopathic using logistic regression. RESULTS: Of 305 patients, follow-up information was available for 279, of whom 93 (33.3%) developed defined neurodegenerative disease. Disease risk was 25% at 3 years and 41% after 5 years. Patients who converted were older (difference = 4.5 years, p < 0.001), with similar sex distribution. Neither caffeine, smoking, nor alcohol exposure predicted conversion. Although occupation was similar between groups, those who converted had a lower likelihood of pesticide exposure (occupational insecticide = 2.3% vs 9.0%). Convertors were more likely to report family history of dementia (odds ratio [OR] = 2.09), without significant differences in Parkinson disease or sleep disorders. Medication exposures and medical history were similar between groups. Autonomic and motor symptoms were more common among those who converted. Risk factors for primary dementia and parkinsonism were generally similar, except for a notably higher clonazepam use in dementia convertors (OR = 2.6). INTERPRETATION: Patients with idiopathic RBD are at very high risk of neurodegenerative synucleinopathy. Risk factor profiles between convertors and nonconvertors have both important commonalities and differences.

Sleep disorders are common in people with Parkinson's disease. These disorders, which increase in frequency throughout the course of the neurodegenerative disease and impair quality of life, include insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness, circadian disorders, obstructive sleep apnoea, restless legs syndrome, and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behaviour disorder. The causes of these sleep disorders are complex and multifactorial, including the degeneration of the neural structures that modulate sleep, the detrimental effect of some medications on sleep, the parkinsonian symptoms that interfere with mobility and comfort in bed, and comorbidities that disrupt sleep quality and quantity. The clinical evaluation of sleep disorders include both subjective (eg, questionnaires or diaries) and objective (eg, actigraphy or video polysomnography) assessments. The management of patients with Parkinson's disease and a sleep disorder is challenging and should be individualised. Treatment can include education aiming at changes in behaviour (ie, sleep hygiene), cognitive behavioural therapy, continuous dopaminergic stimulation at night, and specific medications. REM sleep behaviour disorder can occur several years before the onset of parkinsonism, suggesting that the implementation of trials of neuroprotective therapies should focus on people with this sleep disorder.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a parasomnia characterized by dream enactment. The International RBD Study Group developed the RBD Symptom Severity Scale (RBDSSS) to assess symptom severity for clinical or research use. We assessed the psychometric and clinimetric properties of the RBDSSS in participants enrolled in the North American Prodromal Synucleinopathy (NAPS) Consortium for RBD. METHODS: NAPS participants, who have polysomnogram-confirmed RBD, and their bedpartners completed the RBDSSS (participant and bedpartner versions). The RBDSSS contains 8 questions to assess the frequency and severity/impact of (1) dream content, (2) vocalizations, (3) movements, and (4) injuries associated with RBD. Total scores for participant (maximum score = 54) and bedpartner (maximum score = 38) questionnaires were derived by multiplying frequency and severity scores for each question. The Clinical Global Impression Scale of Severity (CGI-S) and RBD symptom frequency were assessed by a physician during a semistructured clinical interview with participants and, if available, bedpartners. Descriptive analyses, correlations between overall scores, and subitems were assessed, and item response analysis was performed to determine the scale's validity. RESULTS: Among 261 study participants, the median (interquartile range) score for the RBDSSS-PT (participant) was 10 (4-18) and that for the RBDSSS-BP (bedpartner) was 8 (4-15). The median CGI-S was 3 (3-4), indicating moderate severity. RBDSSS-BP scores were significantly lower in women with RBD (6 vs 9, p = 0.02), while there were no sex differences in RBDSSS-PT scores (8 vs 10.5, p = 0.615). Positive correlations were found between RBDSSS-PT vs RBDSSS-BP (Spearman rs = 0.561), RBDSSS-PT vs CGI-S (rs = 0.556), and RBDSSS-BP vs CGI-S (rs = 0.491, all p < 0.0001). Item response analysis showed a high discriminatory value (range 1.40-2.12) for the RBDSSS-PT and RBDSSS-BP (1.29-3.47). DISCUSSION: We describe the RBDSSS with adequate psychometric and clinimetric properties to quantify RBD symptom severity and good concordance between participant and bedpartner questionnaires and between RBDSSS scores and clinician-assessed global severity.

OBJECTIVES: Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) with antibodies against LGI1 and IgLON5 are clinically distinctive but share some particularities such as a strong association with specific human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II alleles. METHODS: We clinically describe a patient with double positivity for LGI1 and IgLON5 antibodies. In addition, we conducted specific immunodepletion with the patient's serum and HLA typing and investigated the presence of serum IgLON5 antibodies in a cohort of 23 anti-LGI1 patients carrying the HLA predisposing for anti-IgLON5 encephalitis. RESULTS: A 70-year-old woman with a history of lymphoepithelial thymoma presented with subacute cognitive impairment and seizures. Investigations included MRI and EEG showing medial temporal involvement, increased CSF protein content, and polysomnography with REM and non-REM motor activity, along with obstructive apnea. Neural antibody testing revealed both LGI1 and IgLON5 antibodies in serum and CSF, and serum immunodepletion ruled out cross-reactivity. The patient carried DRB1*07:01 and DQA1*01:01â¼DQB1*05:01, but no other IgLON5-positive case was identified in a cohort of anti-LGI1 patients carrying DQA1*01â¼DQB1*05. Nearly full therapeutic response was obtained after intensified immunosuppressive treatment. DISCUSSION: We present a case of anti-LGI1 encephalitis with concomitant IgLON5 antibodies. Co-occurring IgLON5 antibodies in anti-LGI1 encephalitis are exceptional, but may appear in genetically predisposed individuals.

Recent evidence demonstrated that neuropsychological assessment may be considered a valid marker of neurodegeneration in idiopathic REM sleep behaviour disorder (iRBD). However, little is known about the possible neuropsychological heterogeneity within the iRBD population. This retrospective study aimed to identify and describe different neuropsychological phenotypes in iRBD patients by means of a data-driven approach using latent class analysis. A total of 289 iRBD patients underwent a neuropsychological assessment evaluating cognitive domains: global cognition, language, short- and long-term memory, executive functions and visuospatial abilities. The presence of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) was also assessed. Latent class analysis was carried out to identify iRBD subtypes according to neuropsychological scores. The most parsimonious model identified three latent classes. Groups were labelled as follows: Class 2 "severely impaired" (n = 83/289): mean pathological scores in different tests, a high percentage of MCI multiple-domain and impairment in all neuropsychological domains. Class 1 "moderately impaired" (n = 44/289): mean neuropsychological score within the normal value, a high percentage of MCI (high risk to phenoconversion) and great impairment in the visuospatial domain. Class 3 "slightly impaired" (n = 162/289): no deficit worthy of attention except for short- and long-term memory. Our results suggest three different clinical phenotypes within the iRBD population. These findings may be relevant in the future for predicting the clinical trajectories of phenoconversion in iRBD.

BACKGROUND: Longitudinal measures of structural brain changes using MRI in relation to clinical features and progression patterns in PD have been assessed in previous studies, but few were conducted in well-defined and large cohorts, including prospective clinical assessments of both motor and non-motor symptoms. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to identify brain volumetric changes characterizing PD patients, and determine whether regional brain volumetric characteristics at baseline can predict motor, psycho-behavioral and cognitive evolution at one year in a prospective cohort of PD patients. METHODS: In this multicentric 1 year longitudinal study, PD patients and healthy controls from the MPI-R2* cohort were assessed for demographical, clinical and brain volumetric characteristics. Distinct subgroups of PD patients according to motor, cognitive and psycho-behavioral evolution were identified at the end of follow-up. RESULTS: One hundred and fifty PD patients and 73 control subjects were included in our analysis. Over one year, there was no significant difference in volume variations between PD and control subjects, regardless of the brain region considered. However, we observed a reduction in posterior cingulate cortex volume at baseline in PD patients with motor deterioration at one year (p = 0.017). We also observed a bilateral reduction of the volume of the amygdala (p = 0.015 and p = 0.041) and hippocampus (p = 0.015 and p = 0.053) at baseline in patients with psycho-behavioral deterioration, regardless of age, dopaminergic treatment and center. CONCLUSION: Brain volumetric characteristics at baseline may predict clinical trajectories at 1 year in PD as posterior cingulate cortex atrophy was associated with motor decline, while amygdala and hippocampus atrophy were associated with psycho-behavioral decline.

BACKGROUND: Idiopathic rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a parasomnia that is an important risk factor for Parkinson's disease (PD) and Lewy body dementia. Its prevalence is unknown. One barrier to determining prevalence is that current screening tools are too long for large-scale epidemiologic surveys. Therefore, we designed the REM Sleep Behavior Disorder Single-Question Screen (RBD1Q), a screening question for dream enactment with a simple yes/no response. METHODS: Four hundred and eighty-four sleep-clinic-based participants (242 idiopathic RBD patients and 242 controls) completed the screen during a multicenter case-control study. All participants underwent a polysomnogram to define gold-standard diagnosis according to standard criteria. RESULTS: We found a sensitivity of 93.8% and a specificity of 87.2%. Sensitivity and specificity were similar in healthy volunteers, compared to controls or patients with other sleep diagnoses. CONCLUSIONS: A single-question screen for RBD may reliably detect disease, with psychometric properties favorably comparable to those reported for longer questionnaires.

OPINION STATEMENT: Treatment of violent behaviors in sleep depends on the underlying condition and a correct identification of the causative disorder is mandatory. After eliminating possible precipitating factors, pharmacological treatment is often required to control violent sleep behaviors. Although no drugs are specifically approved for the treatment of parasomnias and placebo-controlled trials are lacking in these patient populations, clonazepam is considered the drug of choice in the management of both Non-REM and REM parasomnias. Benzodiazepines may cause unwanted side effects especially in older individuals and tolerance is sometime observed. Melatonin and pramipexole may represent alternative options in REM sleep behavior disorder. Hypnosis therapy may be considered in arousal disorders when pharmacological treatment is contraindicated or ineffective. Management of nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy include a first-step pharmacological approach with antiepileptic drugs (eg, carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine or other drugs effective on partial seizures), but surgical options may be considered in drug refractory patients. The published evidence for the efficacy of various treatments relies mostly upon case series or case reports.
RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: Sleep disorders are still often underestimated in patient care management even though they are present in the criteria of the American College of Rheumatology for the diagnosis of fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS). The objective of this study will be to assess the current situation of sleep disorders in patients with FMS in France and to estimate its prevalence. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: The FIBOBS study is a multicentred, prospective, observational trial performed by 46 specialised chronic pain structures in France. Patients with FMS visiting for a first consultation or follow-up (if they have already been followed up for less than a year with a pain management service) will be included after giving their informed consent. Data will be collected through the physician questionnaire filled during the inclusion visit. Patient self-questionnaires will be completed from home. The primary outcome of the study will be to estimate the prevalence of sleep disorders classified into three categories: (a) poor sleep quality in general, (b) sleep apnoea syndrome and (c) restless legs syndrome, using self-administered questionnaires. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This protocol is approved by the ethics committee Comité de Protection des Personnes 'Ile de France II' in accordance with French regulations. The results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed journals and conferences. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT04775368.

BACKGROUND: Insomnia is a frequent complaint of patients with Parkinson's disease, and it negatively affects quality of life. Drugs that improve both sleep and parkinsonism would be of major benefit to patients with Parkinson's disease-related insomnia. We aimed to test the safety and efficacy of subcutaneous night-time only apomorphine infusion in patients with Parkinson's disease and insomnia. METHODS: We did a randomised, multicentre, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial in 11 expert centres in Parkinson's disease and sleep centres in France. Participants aged 35-90 years with fluctuating Parkinson's disease and moderate to severe insomnia (Insomnia Severity Index score ≥15) were randomly assigned to either first receive night-time subcutaneous apomorphine (up to 5 mg/h) or matching placebo. Randomisation was done using a computer-generated plan in blocks of four, stratified by centre. This first intervention was followed by a 14-night washout period, then crossover to the other intervention. The treatment periods consisted of a 10-night titration phase followed by a 7-night fixed-dose phase. The dose was adjusted during the titration phase on the basis of a daily telephone call assessing sleep quality and treatment tolerability. The primary efficacy endpoint was the difference in Parkinson's disease sleep scale (PDSS) scores from the beginning to the end of each treatment period. Analysis was done on an intention-to-treat basis. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02940912. FINDINGS: Between Jan 31, 2017, and Jan 29, 2021, 46 participants were enrolled. 25 (54%) patients were randomly assigned to receive apomorphine first and 21 (46%) patients to receive placebo first. Mean change in PDSS score was significantly greater with night-time apomorphine infusion (15·18 [SD 24·34]) compared with placebo (5·23 [21·52]; treatment effect 9·95 [95% CI 0·88-19·03]; p=0·041). Adverse events were reported in 25 (54%) participants during the apomorphine period and in 17 (37%) participants during the placebo period (p=0·16). Apomorphine was associated with more frequent dizziness than was placebo (seven [15%] vs 0; p=0·041). INTERPRETATION: Subcutaneous night-time only apomorphine infusion improved sleep disturbances according to difference on PDSS score, with an overall safety profile consistent with previous studies in Parkinson's disease. This treatment might be useful to manage sleep disturbances in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease and moderate to severe insomnia. FUNDING: Orkyn and Aguettant Pharma.

Video-polysomnography (v-PSG) is essential for diagnosing rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD). Although there are current American Academy of Sleep Medicine standards to diagnose RBD, several aspects need to be addressed to achieve harmonization across sleep centers. Prodromal RBD is a stage in which symptoms and signs of evolving RBD are present, but do not yet meet established diagnostic criteria for RBD. However, the boundary between prodromal and definite RBD is still unclear. As a common effort of the Neurophysiology Working Group of the International RBD Study Group, this manuscript addresses the need for comprehensive and unambiguous v-PSG recommendations to diagnose RBD and identify prodromal RBD. These include: (1) standardized v-PSG technical settings; (2) specific considerations for REM sleep scoring; (3) harmonized methods for scoring REM sleep without atonia; (4) consistent methods to analyze video and audio recorded during v-PSGs and to classify movements and vocalizations; (5) clear v-PSG guidelines to diagnose RBD and identify prodromal RBD. Each section follows a common template: The current recommendations and methods are presented, their limitations are outlined, and new recommendations are described. Finally, future directions are presented. These v-PSG recommendations are intended for both practicing clinicians and researchers. Classification and quantification of motor events, RBD episodes, and vocalizations are however intended for research purposes only. These v-PSG guidelines will allow collection of homogeneous data, providing objective v-PSG measures and making future harmonized multicentric studies and clinical trials possible.

BACKGROUND: Napping in the workplace is under debate, with interesting results on work efficiency and well-being of workers. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we aimed to assess the benefits of a short daytime nap on cognitive performance. METHODS: PubMed, Cochrane Library, ScienceDirect and PsycInfo databases were searched until 19 August 2021. Cognitive performance in working-aged adults, both before and following a daytime nap or under control conditions (no nap), was analysed by time and by type of cognitive function (alertness, executive function and memory). RESULTS: We included 11 studies (all in laboratory conditions including one with a subgroup in working conditions) for a total of 381 participants. Mean duration of nap was 55.4 ± 29.4 min. Overall cognitive performance did not differ at baseline (t0) between groups (effect size -0.03, 95% CI -0.14 to 0.07), and improved in the nap group following the nap (t1) (0.18, 0.09 to 0.27), especially for alertness (0.29, 0.10 to 0.48). Sensitivity analyses gave similar results comparing only randomized controlled trials, and after exclusion of outliers. Whatever the model used, performance mainly improved until 120 min after nap, with conflicting results during the sleep inertia period. Early naps in the afternoon (before 1.00 p.m.) gave better cognitive performance (0.24, -0.07 to 0.34). The benefits of napping were independent of sex and age. Duration of nap and time between nap and t1 did not influence cognitive performance. CONCLUSIONS: Despite the fact that our meta-analyses included almost exclusively laboratory studies, daytime napping in the afternoon improved cognitive performance with beneficial effects of early nap. More studies in real work condition are warranted before implementing daytime napping at work as a preventive measure to improve work efficiency.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: To determine whether patients with Parkinson disease (PD) eligible for subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) with probable REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) preoperatively could be more at risk of poorer motor, nonmotor, and quality of life outcomes 12 months after surgery compared to those without RBD. METHODS: We analyzed the preoperative clinical profile of 448 patients with PD from a French multicentric prospective study (PREDISTIM) according to the presence or absence of probable RBD based on the RBD Single Question and RBD Screening Questionnaire. Among the 215 patients with PD with 12 months of follow-up after STN-DBS, we compared motor, cognitive, psycho-behavioral profile, and quality of life outcomes in patients with (pre-opRBD+) or without (pre-opRBD-) probable RBD preoperatively. RESULTS: At preoperative evaluation, pre-opRBD+ patients were older (61 ± 7.2 vs 59.5 ± 7.7 years; p = 0.02), had less motor impairment (Movement Disorder Society-sponsored version of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale [MDS-UPDRS] III "off": 38.7 ± 16.2 vs 43.4 ± 7.1; p = 0.03) but more nonmotor symptoms on daily living activities (MDS-UPDRS I: 12.6 ± 5.5 vs 10.7 ± 5.3; p < 0.001), had more psychobehavioral manifestations (Ardouin Scale of Behavior in Parkinson's Disease total: 7.7 ± 5.1 vs 5.1 ± 0.4; p = 0.003), and had worse quality of life (Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire-39: 33 ± 12 vs 29 ± 12; p = 0.03), as compared to pre-opRBD- patients. Both pre-opRBD+ and pre-opRBD- patients had significant MDS-UPDRS IV score decrease (-37% and -33%, respectively), MDS-UPDRS III "med 'off'/stim 'on'" score decrease (-52% and -54%), and dopaminergic treatment decrease (-52% and -49%) after surgery, with no between-group difference. There was no between-group difference for cognitive and global quality of life outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with PD eligible for STN-DBS, the presence of probable RBD preoperatively is not associated with a different clinical outcome 1 year after neurosurgery. TRIAL REGISTRATION INFORMATION: NCT02360683. CLASSIFICATION OF EVIDENCE: This study provides Class II evidence that in patients with PD eligible for STN-DBS, the presence of probable RBD preoperatively is not associated with poorer outcomes 1 year post surgery.

The presence of either excessive tonic chin EMG activity during REM sleep, or excessive phasic submental or limb EMG twitching is required to diagnose REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD). The aim was to identify cut-off values and to assess the sensitivity and specificity of these values taken separately or combined to diagnose idiopathic RBD patients. Eighty patients presenting with a clinical diagnosis of idiopathic RBD and 80 age- and gender-matched normal controls were studied in the sleep laboratory. Receiver operating characteristic curves were drawn to find optimal cut-off values for three REM sleep EMG parameters. Tonic and phasic EMG activity were measured in the chin, but not in the limbs. Videos were examined during the recording but were not systematically reviewed by the authors. Total correct classification of 81.9% was found for tonic chin EMG density ≥30%; 83.8% for phasic chin EMG density ≥15% and 75.6% for ≥24 leg movements per hour of REM sleep. Five patients did not fulfill any of these three polysomnographic (PSG) criteria. Conversely, one subject of the control group met the PSG criteria for RBD. This study estimates the diagnostic value of a visual scoring method for the diagnosis of idiopathic RBD and establishes cut-off values to be used in clinical and research set-ups. For the five RBD patients who did not show chin EMG abnormalities, it cannot be excluded that they had increased phasic EMG activity in the upper limbs and presented visible motor activity.

STUDY OBJECTIVES: To examine the benefits of napping during night shifts on cognitive performance. METHODS: Medline, Cochrane Library, Science direct, and Embase databases were searched up to July 1, 2019. Cognitive performance during night shifts, both before and following napping or under control conditions (no nap), in working-aged adults, were analyzed by time and by type of cognitive function (executive function, attention, instrumental function, and memory). Estimates were pooled using random-effects meta-analysis. RESULTS: A total of 18 articles (6 in real-work and 12 in laboratory) with a total of 494 participants were included. The mean nap duration was 41.6 ± 28.3 min, occurring between 12.00 am and 4.10 am, with a mean time set at 2.12 am. Cognitive performance did not differ at baseline between the groups (effect size 0.02, 95% CI -0.09 to 0.13). There was an overall improvement in performance following a nap compared to the control condition without a nap (0.25, 0.10 to 0.41). Positioning naps early in the night and activity (simulated work tasks) tended to improve cognitive performance (-0.57, -1.16 to 0.002, and 0.082, -0.04 to 0.33, respectively). The improvements were primarily seen 30 min after awakening. Only memory deteriorated immediately after awakening without an overall change in global cognitive performance. CONCLUSION: Napping during night shifts seems to improve cognitive performance. Napping early in the night and activity may benefit cognitive performance over time. Considering lack of data in real work environments, further studies are warranted before preconizing napping during night shifts as a preventive strategy (safety, health, and economic outcomes).
