[6] The signs, symptoms and cognitive profile of PDD are similar to those of DLB; [ 2 ] DLB and PDD are clinically similar after dementia occurs in Parkinson's disease. [ 5 ]
Delusions in Parkinson's disease dementia are less common than in DLB, [152] and persons with Parkinson's disease are typically less caught up in their visual hallucinations than those with DLB. [85] There is a lower incidence of tremor at rest in DLB than in Parkinson's disease, and signs of parkinsonism in DLB are more symmetrical. [42]

Parkinson's disease dementia is associated with a reduced quality of life in people with PD and their caregivers, increased mortality, and a higher probability of needing nursing home care. [ 226 ] The incidence rate of falls in Parkinson's patients is approximately 45 to 68%, thrice that of healthy individuals, and half of such falls result in ...
