abstract = {To examine the agreement between self- and
informant-reported activities of daily living (ADL) deficits
in Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients, and to examine factors
influencing ADL ratings.In PD, the loss of functional
independence is an important outcome of disease progression.
The valid assessment of ADL function in PD is essential, but
it is unclear to what extent informants' and patients'
perceptions of their daily functions concur, and how other
factors may influence both ratings.Data of 150 PD patients
who underwent cognitive and motor testing, as well as their
informants were analyzed. The 10-item Functional Activities
Questionnaire (FAQ), completed separately by patients
(FAQ-S) and their informants (FAQ-I), assessed ADL function.
Weighted κ statistics summarized level of agreement, and a
discrepancy score (FAQ-I - FAQ-S) quantified agreement.
Correlation analyses between FAQ total scores, patient and
informant characteristics, and cognitive scores were
conducted, with post hoc regressions to determine the
associations between both FAQ scores and cognition,
independent of patient characteristics.The sample included
87 patients with normal cognition, 50 with mild cognitive
impairment, and 13 with dementia. Overall, there was fair to
moderate agreement between patients and informants on
individual FAQ items (0.27 ≤ κ ≤ 0.61, p < 0.004), with
greater discrepancies with increasing cognitive impairment.
Patients' age, motor severity, non-motor burden, and
depression also affected both ratings (0.27 ≤ r ≤ 0.50,
p < 0.001), with motor severity showing the greatest
influence on both ratings. Both the FAQ-I and FAQ-S were
correlated with almost all cognitive domains. Post hoc
regression analyses controlling for patient characteristics
showed that the attention domain was a significant predictor
of both the FAQ-S and FAQ-I scores, and memory was also a
significant predictor of the FAQ-I score. Only $29.3\%$ of
patients agreed perfectly with informants on the FAQ total
score, with informants most commonly rating ADL impairments
as more severe than patients.Patient and informant ratings
of ADL function using FAQ items showed moderate agreement,
with only few items reaching substantial agreement. Ratings
of both were associated with patient cognitive status, but
also other characteristics. In addition to patient and
informant reports, objective measures are needed to
accurately classify ADL deficits in PD.},
