Abstract: REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) might render patients with Parkinson’s disease prone to sleep-disordered breathing. This retrospective polysomonographic study assessed the prevalence of sleep-disordered breathing in 108 consecutive patients with either both Parkinson’s disease and RBD (n = 37), Parkinson’s disease without RBD (n = 21), or isolated RBD (n = 50). Across all patients, 25% had at least moderate sleep-related breathing disorder, without significant differences between groups. Following multivariable analysis, RBD influenced sleep-related breathing parameters modestly but not significantly, whereas body mass index had a prominent impact. Further studies with larger patient cohorts are needed, and confounders like body mass index must adequately be controlled for.
