Data are presented as medians and interquartile ranges (IQR). The comparison of groups was performed by Kruskal-Wallis test, and Bonferroni corrections were used for multiple comparisons.
# Compared with CMBs free group, the difference was statistically significant.
CMBs – cerebral microbleeds; UPDRS-III – unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale Part III; MMSE – Mini Mental State Examination; MoCA – Montreal Cognitive Assessment; HAMA – Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale; HAMD – Hamilton Depression Rating Scale; RBDSQ – rapid-eye-movement sleep behavior disorder screening questionnaire; ESS – Epworth sleepiness score.
