摘要: The various clinical features of multiple system atrophy (MSA) make the diagnosis disease difficult, especially in its early stages, when signs differentiated neuroanatomical involvement have not yet appeared. Mortality studies may be affected by variability diagnostic criteria and selection bias. We used strict MRI to diagnose MSA 59 patients. Patients with parkinsonian cerebellar onset were compared. Median survival time from first motor symptom was 7.5 years. Our results indicated a trend (P = 0.09) for Northwestern University Disability Scale score correlate mortality, but we failed find other characteristics identifying subgroups or predictors survival.
