| Abstract: | Background: REM Sleep Behavior Disorder (RBD) is characterized by absence of physiological muscle atonia during REM sleep (REM sleep without atonia, RWA). Nigro-striatal dopaminergic impairment is a feature of Parkinson disease (PD) and can be identified in prodromal stages as well, such as idiopathic RBD (iRBD). Aims of this study are to explore the efficacy of an automatic RWA quantification in identifying RBD patients and the correlation between RWA and nigro-striatal dopaminergic function. Methods: Forty-five iRBD, 46 PD with RBD, 24 PD without RBD patients and 11 healthy controls were enrolled in the Genoa Center (group A) and 25 patients with iRBD (group B) were enrolled in the Danish Center. Group A underwent brain [123I]FP-CIT-SPECT and group B underwent brain [18F]PE2I-PET as measures of nigro-striatal dopaminergic function. Chin muscle activity was recorded in all subjects and analyzed by applying a published automatic algorithm. Correlations between RWA and nigro-striatal dopaminergic function were explored. Results: The automatic quantification of RWA significantly differentiated RBD from non-RBD subjects (AUC = 0.86), although with lower accuracy compared with conventional visual scoring (AUC = 0.99). No significant correlation was found between RWA and nigro-striatal dopaminergic function. Conclusion: The automatic quantification of RWA is a reliable tool to identify subjects with RBD and may be used as a first-line screening tool, but without correlations with nigro-striatal dopaminergic functioning.
