    Abstract Identifying individuals at high risk for developing neurodegenerative disease opens the possibility of conducting clinical trials that intervene at an earlier stage of neurodegeneration than has been possible to date, and in doing so hopefully improves the odds of efficacy for interventions aimed at slowing or stopping the disease process. The long prodromal phase of Parkinson disease presents opportunities and challenges to establishing cohorts of at-risk individuals. Recruiting people with genetic variants conferring increased risk and people with REM sleep behavior disorder currently constitutes the most promising strategies, but multistage screening of the general population may also be feasible capitalizing on known risk factors and prodromal features. This chapter discusses the challenges involved in identifying, recruiting, and retaining these individuals, and provides insights into possible solutions using examples from studies to date.

    Abstract Background and objectives: The prodromal phase of Parkinson disease (PD) is accompanied by subtle clinical signs that are not sufficient for diagnosis but could potentially be measured in the context of clinical trials of therapies intended to delay or prevent more definitive clinical features. The objective of this study was to review the available literature on the presence and time course of subtle motor features in prodromal PD in the context of planning for possible clinical trials.
    Methods: We reviewed the available literature based on expert opinion. We considered a range of outcomes including measurement of clinical features, patient-reported outcomes, digital markers, and clinical diagnosis.
    Results: We considered these features and measures in the context of patient stratification, intermediate outcomes, and clinically relevant end points, including phenoconversion.
    Discussion: Substantial progress has been made in understanding how motor features evolve in the period immediately before a PD diagnosis. Digital measures hold substantial progress for measurement precision and may be additionally relevant because they can be used in naturalistic environments outside the clinic. Future studies should focus on advancing digital sensor technology and analysis and developing methods to implement available methods, particularly determination of a clinical diagnosis of PD, in a clinical trial context.

    Abstract There is disagreement in the literature whether olfaction may show specific impairments in Parkinson Disease (PD) and if olfactory tests comprised of selected odors could be more specific for diagnosis. We sought to validate previously proposed subsets of the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT) odors for predicting conversion to PD in an independent, prodromal cohort. Conversion to PD was assessed in 229 participants in the Parkinson At Risk Study who completed baseline olfactory testing with the UPSIT and up to 12 years of clinical and imaging evaluations. No commercially available or proposed subset performed better than the full 40-item UPSIT. The proposed "PD-specific" subsets also did not perform better than expected by chance. We did not find evidence for selective olfactory impairment in Parkinson disease. Shorter odor identification tests, including commercially available 10-12 item tests, may have utility for ease of use and cost, but not for superior predictive value.

    Abstract Background: The Parkinson Associated Risk Syndrome (PARS) study was designed to evaluate whether screening with olfactory testing and dopamine transporter (DAT) imaging could identify participants at risk for developing Parkinson's disease (PD).
    Objective: Hyposmia on a single test has been associated with increased risk of PD, but, taken alone, lacks specificity. We evaluated whether repeating olfactory testing improves the diagnostic characteristics of this screening approach.
    Methods: Participants completed up to 10 years of clinical and imaging evaluations in the PARS cohort. Olfaction was assessed with the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test at baseline and on average 1.4 years later. Multiple logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards regression were used to estimate the hazard of development of clinical PD or abnormal DAT imaging.
    Results: Of 186 participants who were initially hyposmic, 28% reverted to normosmia on repeat testing (reverters). No initially normosmic subjects and only 2% of reverters developed DAT imaging progression or clinical PD, compared to 29% of subjects with persistent hyposmia who developed abnormal DAT and 20% who developed clinical PD. The relative risk of clinical conversion to PD was 8.3 (95% CI:0.92-75.2, p = 0.06) and of abnormal DAT scan was 12.5 (2.4-156.2, p = 0.005) for persistent hyposmia, compared to reversion.
    Conclusions: Persistent hyposmia on serial olfactory testing significantly increases the risk of developing clinical PD and abnormal DAT imaging, compared to hyposmia on a single test. Repeat olfactory testing may be an efficient and cost-effective strategy to improve identification of at-risk patients for early diagnosis and disease modification studies.

    Abstract The Parkinson's disease (PD) research field has seen the advent of several promising biomarkers and a deeper understanding of the clinical features of the disease from the earliest stages of pathology to manifest disease. Despite progress, a biologically based PD staging system does not exist. Such staging would be a useful framework within which to model the disease, develop and validate biomarkers, guide therapeutic development, and inform clinical trials design. We propose that the presence of aggregated neuronal α-synuclein, dopaminergic neuron dysfunction/degeneration, and clinical signs and symptoms identifies a group of individuals that have Lewy body pathology, which in early stages manifests with what is now referred to as prodromal non-motor features and later stages with the manifestations of PD and related Lewy body diseases as defined by clinical diagnostic criteria. Based on the state of the field, we herein propose a definition and staging of PD based on biology. We present the biologic basis for such a staging system and review key assumptions and evidence that support the proposed approach. We identify gaps in knowledge and delineate crucial research priorities that will inform the ultimate integrated biologic staging system for PD.

    Abstract Background and objectives: Teleneurology is common in clinical practice partly due to the SARS CoV-2 pandemic. Impressions about teleneurology from patients and providers alike are generally favorable; some of the reported benefits include ease of access to specialized health care, savings of time and money, and similar quality of care as an in-person visit. However, comparisons between patient and provider impressions about the same teleneurology encounter have not been described. In this study, we describe patient impressions about a teleneurology encounter and evaluate concordance with provider impressions about the same encounter.
    Methods: Patients and providers at the University of Pennsylvania Hospital Neurology Department were surveyed about their impressions of teleneurology between April 27, 2020, and June 16, 2020. A convenience sample of patients, whose providers completed a questionnaire, were contacted by telephone to solicit their impressions about the same encounter. Unique questionnaires for patients and providers focused on similar themes, such as adequacy of technology, assessment of history obtained, and overall quality of the visit. Summaries of patient responses are reported with the raw percent agreement between patients and providers for similar questions.
    Results: One hundred thirty-seven patients completed the survey; 64 (47%) were male and 73 (53%) were female. Sixty-six (47%) patients had a primary diagnosis of PD, 42 (30%) a non-PD/parkinsonism movement disorder, and 29 (21%) a nonmovement disorder neurologic disease. One hundred one (76%) were established patient visits and 36 (26%) were new patient visits. Provider responses from 8 different physicians were included. Most of the patients responded that the ease of joining their visit, their comfort engaging with their physicians during their visit, understanding their plan of care after their visit, and the quality of care from their teleneurology visit were satisfactory. Patients and providers agreed about their impressions of the quality of the history obtained (87% agreement), patient-provider relationship (88% agreement), and overall quality of their experience (70% agreement).
    Discussion: Patients had favorable impressions about their clinical experience with teleneurology and expressed an interest in incorporating telemedicine visits into their ongoing care. Patients and providers were highly concordant for the history obtained, patient-provider relationship, and overall quality.
