Differential Diagnosis of MSA and PD

A total of 41 patients with MSA and 32 patients with PD were consecutively recruited at the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from December 2017 to December 2021. MSA was diagnosed according to the 2017 edition of Expert Consensus on Diagnosis Criteria for Multiple System Atrophy in China [5 (link)], and PD was diagnosed according to the Movement Disorders Society clinical diagnostic criteria [6 ]. Exclusion criteria: 1) Patients with history of spinal cord lesions, lumbosacral radiculopathy, diabetic peripheral neuropathy, anorectal and pelvic floor diseases were excluded; 2) male patients with history of prostate disease were also excluded.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
