  1. Altered results are presented underlined. Bold type denotes patients who screened positive for more than one non-motor symptom of Parkinson’s disease. BDI Beck Depression Inventory (cutoff for depression > 14), ESS Epworth Sleepiness Scale (cutoff for increased daytime sleepiness > 10), UMSARS Unified Multiple System Atrophy Rating Scale (cutoff for constipation ≥2), SST Sniffin’ Sticks Test (cutoff for hyposmia < 9/12), MoCa Montreal Cognitive assessment (cutoff for cognitive impairment < 26), RBD-1Q Single-Question Screen for REM Sleep Behavior Disorder (cutoff being a positive answer to the single question), NP not performed, MDS-UPDRS III motor symptoms of PD assessed with part III of the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale. Low vitamin B12 level < 200 pg/mL. aThese patients underwent clinical examination and fiberoptic nasopharyngoscopy by an ENT doctor
