BackgroundHyposmia, motor impairment and probable REM-sleep behaviour disorder (RBD) are markers for Parkinsons disease (PD). Proposed PD risk prediction models have dichotomised test results and applied likelihood ratios (LRs) to scores above and below cut-offs. We investigate whether LRs for specific test values could enhance prediction models. MethodsSmell and probable RBD data for PD patients were taken from the Tracking Parkinsons study (n=1046). For motor impairment previously published d...
