Postępujące porażenie nadrdzeniowe
Epidemiologia

Postępujące porażenie nadrdzeniowe (PSP) to rzadkie, neurodegeneracyjne zaburzenie ruchowe o śmiertelnym przebiegu, z medianą przeżycia około 4,9 lat od diagnozy (95% CI 3,6-6,1). Chorobowość PSP waha się w literaturze od 1,39 do 17,9 na 100 000 osób, z metaanalizą wskazującą na 6,92 (4,33-11,06) na 100 000. Zapadalność wynosi 0,81 (0,48-1,37) na 100 000 osobolat, z przewagą mężczyzn (stosunek 1,5:1) i średnim wiekiem zachorowania około 63 lat. PSP stanowi 4-6% przypadków parkinsonizmu, będąc drugim najczęstszym po chorobie Parkinsona. Diagnostyka jest utrudniona przez częste błędne rozpoznania (ponad 50% przypadków początkowo diagnozowanych jako choroba Parkinsona), a mediana czasu od objawów do diagnozy wynosi około 3-4,2 lat. Główne czynniki ryzyka to wiek powyżej 60 lat oraz czynniki środowiskowe, takie jak ekspozycja na annonacynę (z owoców Annonaceae) i metale przemysłowe, a także nadciśnienie tętnicze. Genetycznie, najsilniejszym czynnikiem ryzyka jest haplotyp H1/H2 w genie MAPT (OR≈5,5), a nowe dane wskazują na rolę wariantów w genie C4A.

Epidemiologia Postępującego Porażenia Nadrdzeniowego

Postępujące porażenie nadrdzeniowe (Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, PSP) jest rzadkim, śmiertelnym, neurodegeneracyjnym zaburzeniem ruchu, dla którego obecnie nie istnieje terapia modyfikująca przebieg choroby. Zrozumienie epidemiologii PSP ma kluczowe znaczenie dla planowania przyszłych świadczeń zdrowotnych, opieki i potencjalnego wdrażania nowych metod leczenia.123

Częstotliwość występowania

Szacunki dotyczące chorobowości (prevalence) PSP znacznie się różnią w literaturze medycznej. W ciągu ostatnich kilku dekad szacunkowa chorobowość PSP wzrosła z 1,39/100 000 do nawet 17,9/100 000 osób.12 Większość badań podaje jednak wartości w zakresie 5-7 przypadków na 100 000 osób.123 Metaanaliza badań z podobnymi metodologiami wykazała łączną szacunkową chorobowość PSP na poziomie 6,92 (4,33-11,06) na 100 000 osób.12

W badaniu przeprowadzonym w Izraelu w 2018 roku, surowy wskaźnik chorobowości (u osób powyżej 40 roku życia) wynosił 5,3 na 100 000 członków systemu opieki zdrowotnej, podczas gdy wskaźnik skorygowany względem wieku wynosił 1,6 na 100 000 osób.1 PSP dotyka około 4-6% pacjentów z parkinsonizmem, co czyni je drugim najczęstszym powodem parkinsonizmu po chorobie Parkinsona.12

W Wielkiej Brytanii Stowarzyszenie PSP szacuje, że około 4 000 osób żyje z PSP, choć rzeczywista liczba może być znacznie wyższa ze względu na częste błędne diagnozy.1 W Stanach Zjednoczonych szacuje się, że PSP dotyka 6-10 osób na 100 000, co przekłada się na około 30 000 przypadków, choć badania autopsyjne sugerują, że schorzenie może być bardziej rozpowszechnione niż się powszechnie uważa.12

Zapadalność

Zapadalność (incidence) na PSP waha się od 0,9 do 2,6 przypadków na 100 000 osobolat, przy czym większość badań wskazuje na wartości między 0,9 a 1,9 na 100 000.123 Metaanaliza ośmiu badań wykazała łączną zapadalność 0,81 na 100 000 osobolat (0,48-1,37).1

W analizie danych z Izraela z 2018 roku, surowy wskaźnik zapadalności (u osób powyżej 40 roku życia) wynosił 1 na 100 000 członków systemu opieki zdrowotnej, a wskaźnik skorygowany względem wieku wynosił 0,29 na 100 000 osób.12 Badania przeprowadzone w Perth w Australii wskazują na surowe wskaźniki zapadalności wynoszące 3-4 przypadki na milion rocznie, co stanowi około 5% zapadalności na chorobę Parkinsona.1

Różnice płciowe i wiekowe

Wyniki badań wskazują na nieznaczną przewagę występowania PSP u mężczyzn w porównaniu do kobiet, choć niektóre źródła sugerują równy rozkład między płciami.123 Według Kristensena, stosunek mężczyzn do kobiet wynosi 1,5:1.1 W badaniu przeprowadzonym w New Jersey przez Golbe i wsp., chorobowość wśród mężczyzn wynosiła 1,53 na 100 000, podczas gdy wśród kobiet 1,23 na 100 000.1

Różnice płciowe w zapadalności na PSP zostały również udokumentowane, wykazując zapadalność 1,1-1,3/100 000 u mężczyzn i 0,6-0,9/100 000 u kobiet.1 W Gwadelupie, będącej geograficznym skupiskiem PSP, zauważono przewagę mężczyzn, którzy stanowili 68-72% pacjentów z PSP.1

Średni wiek zachorowania wynosi około 63 lata (zakres 44-75 lat), a większość przypadków rozwija się u osób powyżej 60 roku życia.12 Mediana czasu między wystąpieniem objawów a diagnozą wynosi 3 lata (zakres 0,5-9 lat).1 W badaniu izraelskim średni wiek w momencie diagnozy wynosił 72 lata (SD = 8).1

Przeżywalność i rokowanie

PSP jest chorobą postępującą i śmiertelną. Mediana czasu przeżycia od diagnozy wynosi około 4,9 lat (95% CI 3,6-6,1).12 Choroba zwykle ujawnia się klinicznie w szóstej dekadzie życia i prowadzi do śmierci zazwyczaj w ciągu dekady (2-17 lat od diagnozy).1 Badanie z Izraela wykazało, że 19,8% pacjentów (95% CI: 13,3-27,8%) osiągnęło przeżycie powyżej 10 lat.1

Głównym problemem dla pacjentów z PSP są trudności w oddychaniu i połykaniu oraz infekcje, które są główną przyczyną śmierci, zazwyczaj 6-12 lat po wystąpieniu choroby.1 Pacjenci stają się zależni od wózka inwalidzkiego z powodu częstych upadków.1

Czynniki ryzyka i zmienne geograficzne

Głównym czynnikiem ryzyka PSP jest wiek. Ryzyko rozwoju PSP wzrasta u osób w wieku 60 lat i starszych.1 Co interesujące, w przypadku PSP zaobserwowano geograficzne skupiska zachorowań, co podkreśla potencjalny wkład czynników środowiskowych w rozwój choroby.12

Czynniki środowiskowe

Badania geograficznych skupisk PSP pomogły zidentyfikować kilka środowiskowych czynników ryzyka:1

  • Zespół parkinsonizmu podobny do PSP zidentyfikowany w Gwadelupie był związany ze spożywaniem owoców z rodziny Annonaceae, które zawierają annonacynę, inhibitor kompleksu I mitochondrialnego, wykazujący w badaniach na neuronach zdolność do zwiększania izoform tau 4R12
  • Wysoki wskaźnik występowania PSP w regionie przemysłowym północnej Francji wydaje się być związany z narażeniem na metale przemysłowe1
  • Badanie ENGENE-PSP potwierdziło umiarkowany związek między historią nadciśnienia tętniczego (10 lat przed wystąpieniem objawów PSP) a rozwojem PSP11″>2
  • Stosowanie beta-blokerów wykazało związek z PSP, podczas gdy inne leki nie wykazały takiego związku w analizie jednoczynnikowej badania ENGENE-PSP1

Przegląd literatury dotyczącej czynników środowiskowych i modyfikowalnych w PSP wskazuje, że określone nawyki żywieniowe (np. wysokie spożycie owoców z rodziny Annonaceae), narażenie na metale/chemikalia, nadciśnienie i stres są czynnikami ryzyka PSP. Natomiast wysoki poziom wykształcenia i stosowanie statyn mogą działać ochronnie.12

Czynniki genetyczne

PSP jest typowo chorobą sporadyczną, jednak zidentyfikowano przypadki rodzinne związane z mutacjami w genie MAPT, a także przypadki związane z mutacjami LRRK2.12 Badania asocjacyjne całego genomu (GWAS) zidentyfikowały kilka loci ryzyka dla PSP.1

Najnowsze badania genetyczne wskazują, że haplotyp H1/H2 na chromosomie 17q21.31, około 900 kb polimorfizm inwersyjny obejmujący gen kodujący białko tau MAPT, pozostaje najsilniejszym znanym czynnikiem ryzyka genetycznego dla PSP (OR≈5,5).1 Niedawne badanie genetyczne, największe do tej pory, obejmujące 2779 przypadków (z czego 2595 potwierdzonych autopsją) i 5584 dopasowanych wiekowo, niedementywnych kontroli, ujawniło nowy sygnał genetyczny w C4A, który koduje kwaśną formę czynnika dopełniacza 4, będącą częścią klasycznej ścieżki aktywacji.1

Wyzwania diagnostyczne i nadzór epidemiologiczny

Dokładne zrozumienie epidemiologii PSP jest utrudnione przez kilka czynników:12

Problemy z diagnozą

PSP jest często błędnie diagnozowane, co prowadzi do niedoszacowania jego rzeczywistej częstości występowania. Ponad 50% osób z PSP jest początkowo błędnie diagnozowanych jako chorzy na chorobę Parkinsona.1 Nawet dla osób, które nie zostały początkowo błędnie zdiagnozowane, proces może być długotrwały, ponieważ wielu świadczeniodawców opieki zdrowotnej nie zna tej choroby.1

Wczesna diagnoza PSP jest trudna, ponieważ początkowe dolegliwości są zwykle niejasne. PSP często jest błędnie diagnozowane, ponieważ niektóre objawy są bardzo podobne do objawów choroby Parkinsona, choroby Alzheimera i rzadszych zaburzeń neurodegeneracyjnych, takich jak choroba Creutzfeldta-Jakoba.1

W badaniu izraelskim najczęstszymi błędnymi diagnozami były choroba Parkinsona, zaburzenia poznawcze i depresja, a mediana czasu od początkowego objawu do diagnozy wynosiła 4,2 roku.1

Problemy metodologiczne w badaniach epidemiologicznych

Dane epidemiologiczne dotyczące PSP są ograniczone ze względu na:12

  • Względną rzadkość choroby
  • Różnorodność prezentacji klinicznej
  • Stopień heterogeniczności patologicznej
  • Trudności z identyfikacją przypadków i ich reprezentatywnością
  • Problemy z uzyskaniem odpowiednich wielkości próby
  • Brak odpowiednich testów o wysokiej czułości i swoistości

Dla każdej rzadkiej choroby, prowadzenie badań epidemiologicznych stanowi kilka głównych wyzwań. W przypadku PSP złotym standardem pozostaje diagnostyczna wiedza specjalisty zaburzeń ruchu.1

Znaczenie nadzoru epidemiologicznego

Dokładne zrozumienie obciążenia chorobą ma kluczowe znaczenie dla planowania usług medycznych, zapewnienia opieki i podawania leków modyfikujących przebieg choroby.1 Istnieje potrzeba dalszych badań epidemiologicznych, odpowiednio dostosowanych do oceny epidemiologii rzadkich chorób, z rzetelnymi metodami oceny klinicznej przy użyciu najnowszych kryteriów diagnostycznych.1

Badania danych rzeczywistych (RWD), zbieranych poza badaniami klinicznymi, stanowią alternatywne podejście do prowadzenia badań nad rzadkimi chorobami.1 Ten rodzaj badań może dostarczyć cennych informacji na temat wielu aspektów progresji i zarządzania chorobą w PSP i wielu innych rzadkich chorobach.1

Aby zaradzić brakowi danych epidemiologicznych dotyczących PSP w Irlandii, przygotowywane jest irlandzkie wieloośrodkowe badanie epidemiologiczne, The Leinster Tauopathy Study, które ma na celu ustalenie częstości występowania i zapadalności na PSP i CBS w populacji irlandzkiej oraz utworzenie biobanku krwi, DNA i próbek płynu mózgowo-rdzeniowego, aby ułatwić przyszłe badania biomarkerów diagnostycznych i prognostycznych.1

Wykorzystanie zasobów opieki zdrowotnej

Zrozumienie wykorzystania zasobów opieki zdrowotnej (HRU) w PSP ma kluczowe znaczenie dla planowania świadczeń zdrowotnych.12

Wzorce wykorzystania opieki zdrowotnej

Leki, obrazowanie, urządzenia wspomagające, opieka wspierająca oraz zabiegi chirurgiczne i procedury były najczęściej wykorzystywanymi zasobami opieki zdrowotnej, z których każdy był wykorzystywany przez co najmniej 85% uczestników w pewnym momencie przebiegu choroby.1

Badania pokazują, że po postawieniu diagnozy następuje zwiększenie wykorzystania urządzeń wspomagających i opieki wspierającej.1 Dane dotyczące wykorzystania zasobów opieki zdrowotnej i ekonomicznego wpływu PSP są ogólnie ograniczone, ale nieliczne dostępne dane sugerują, że pacjenci z PSP korzystają z oddziałów ratunkowych w nadmiernym stopniu, głównie z powodu upadków.1

Implikacje dla planowania opieki zdrowotnej

Badania epidemiologiczne PSP mają kluczowe znaczenie dla planowania przyszłych usług oraz projektowania i wdrażania badań klinicznych nad potencjalnymi terapiami modyfikującymi przebieg choroby.12

Ze względu na rzadkość PSP, badanie kohort PSP w różnych krajach może stworzyć odpowiednią platformę dla nadchodzących prób terapii modyfikujących przebieg choroby.1 Zrozumienie znaczenia PSP z perspektywy zdrowia publicznego wymaga dalszych badań nad czynnikami wpływającymi na chorobowość, zapadalność i przebieg kliniczny choroby.1

Perspektywy i przyszłe kierunki badań

Badania w zakresie epidemiologii PSP napotykają na dodatkowe wyzwania ze względu na starszy wiek w momencie diagnozy PSP i szybki postęp choroby.1 Kluczowe obszary przyszłych badań obejmują:

  • Dokładniejsze określenie częstości występowania i zapadalności przy użyciu najnowszych kryteriów diagnostycznych1
  • Lepsze zrozumienie czynników genetycznych i środowiskowych ryzyka1
  • Rozwój biomarkerów, które mogą pomóc w diagnozowaniu PSP i odróżnieniu jej od innych zaburzeń parkinsonowskich1
  • Badanie charakterystycznych cech klinicznych PSP, które wystąpiły przed datą indeksu, co może być wykorzystane do opracowania modeli predykcyjnych w celu wcześniejszego identyfikowania potencjalnych pacjentów z PSP1
  • Lepsze zrozumienie wykorzystania zasobów opieki zdrowotnej w celu opracowania bardziej skutecznych strategii prewencyjnych1

Obecnie prowadzone są badania kliniczne nad potencjalnymi terapiami modyfikującymi przebieg choroby, które mogą znacząco wpłynąć na przyszłą epidemiologię PSP. Na przykład, firma Amylyx rozpoczęła globalne, randomizowane, podwójnie zaślepione, kontrolowane placebo badanie kliniczne fazy 2b/3 ORION (NCT06122662) w celu oceny skuteczności, bezpieczeństwa i tolerancji AMX0035 w porównaniu z placebo u osób żyjących z PSP.1

    Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a rare and fatal neurodegenerative movement disorder and no disease modifying therapy (DMT) is currently available. This study aims to assess the epidemiology of PSP in Israel and to describe its clinical features. […] The 2018 prevalence and incidence rates were 5.3 and 1 per 100,000 persons, respectively. […] The present study demonstrates that the clinic-epidemiological features of PSP in Israel are similar to PSP worldwide. […] To the best of our knowledge, in Israel, there are no publications that describe the epidemiology and clinical features of PSP. Therefore, this study aims to assess the prevalence and incidence of PSP in Israel and to describe the clinical features of the disease, including initial symptoms, common misdiagnoses, survival time and treatment patterns.

    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10421779/
    Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and corticobasal syndrome (CBS) are progressive neurodegenerative syndromes characterised by Parkinsonism with additional features including cognitive dysfunction, falls, and oculomotor abnormalities. Understanding the epidemiology of these conditions is critical to planning for future service provision. […] We found 32 studies meeting our criteria for inclusion. There were 20 studies with data on prevalence and 12 with incidence data of PSP. Prevalence of CBS was reported in eight studies while seven studies reported incidence. Reported estimates of prevalence for PSP ranged from 1.00 (0.91.1) to 18 (828) per 100,000 while prevalence rates for CBS ranged from 0.83 (0.13.0) to 25 (059). Incidence rates for PSP and CBS respectively ranged from 0.16 (0.070.39) to 2.6 per 100,000 person-years and 0.03 (00.18) to 0.8 (0.41.3) per 100,000 person-years. A random effects model meta-analysis of studies with similar methodologies yielded a pooled prevalence estimate for PSP of 6.92 (4.3311.06, I2=89%, 2=0.3907) and 3.91 (2.037.51, I2=72%, 2=0.2573) per 100,000 for CBS.

    A population-based study in New Jersey by Golbe et al revealed an overall prevalence of 1.39 cases per 100,000 population. The male prevalence was 1.53 in 100,000, whereas the female prevalence was 1.23 in 100,000; this finding was in accordance with a previously noted slight male preponderance. The adjusted prevalence ratio among patients older than 55 years was 7 in 100,000. […] Prevalence data derived from tertiary centers suggest that PSP affects 4-6% of patients with parkinsonism. […] The incidence of PSP has been assessed in Perth, Australia; crude incidence rates are 3-4 per million cases per year, approximately 5% of the incidence of Parkinson disease. […] The mean age at onset is approximately 63 years (range, 44-75 years). […] The median interval between onset and diagnosis is 3 years (range, 0.5-9 years). PSP has a slight male predominance in most studies. According to Kristensen, the male-to-female ratio is 1.5:1. […] Most reported cases have been in whites. The affected cohort in Golbes study consisted entirely of white persons; however, the survey population included only 5.7% black individuals, thus preventing any meaningful analysis regarding race.

    Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder that has no known cause or cure. […] PSP is slightly more common in men than women, but it has no known geographical, occupational, or racial preference. […] PSP is considered rare, affecting 6-10 individuals per 100,000, with about 30,000 cases in the United States. These numbers are likely underestimates due to frequent misdiagnosis of Parkinsons disease or frontotemporal dementia. […] More than 50% of people with PSP are initially misdiagnosed with Parkinsons disease. […] Receiving a PSP diagnosis can be challenging and frustrating. Even for those not initially misdiagnosed, the process can be lengthy because many healthcare providers are unfamiliar with the disease. As a result, it can take a long time for people to receive an accurate diagnosis. […] It is common to have initially received a diagnosis of Parkinsons disease because of the similarities in early symptoms.

    Epidemiology of Progressive Supranuclear Palsy: Real World Data from the Second Largest Health Plan in Israel […] Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a rare and fatal neurodegenerative movement disorder and no disease modifying therapy (DMT) is currently available. This study aims to assess the epidemiology of PSP in Israel and to describe its clinical features. This retrospective analysis identified patients with PSP between 2000 and 2018 over the age of 40 years at first diagnosis (index date). We identified 209 patients with ≥1 diagnosis of PSP. Of those, 88 patients satisfied the inclusion criteria with a mean age at diagnosis of 72 years (SD = 8) and 53% were female. The 2018 prevalence and incidence rates were 5.3 and 1 per 100,000 persons, respectively. Median survival time was 4.9 years (95% CI 3.6–6.1) and median time from initial symptom to diagnosis was 4.2 years. The most common misdiagnoses were Parkinson’s disease, cognitive disorder and depression. The present study demonstrates that the clinic-epidemiological features of PSP in Israel are similar to PSP worldwide. In light of PSP’s rarity, investigation of PSP cohorts in different countries may create a proper platform for upcoming DMT trials. […]

    Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), a rare Parkinsonian disorder, is characterized by problems with movement, balance, and cognition. […] PSP is estimated to affect 517 per 100,000 persons in the US, making it the second leading cause of Parkinsonism after PD, and autopsy studies have found PSP pathology in 26% of individuals with no PSP neurological diagnosis prior to death, suggesting that it is more prevalent than appreciated in living individuals. […] Key insights into PSP have come from decades of genetic studies which have demonstrated the disorder to be almost entirely sporadic disease, however careful clinical evaluation has revealed a tendency for family clustering. […] While the chromosome 17q21.31 H1/H2 haplotype, an approximately 900 kbp inversion polymorphism encompassing the gene encoding the tau protein MAPT, remains the strongest known genetic risk factor for PSP (OR5.5), loci containing variants with more modest effects have also been identified.

    These loci help resolve only a portion of PSP heritability, and much of the genetic risk remains unexplained. […] Here we perform the largest genetic association study of PSP to date, including 2779 cases (of which 2595 were autopsy-confirmed, building upon the 1069 autopsy confirmed cases from stage 1 of work from 2011) and 5584 age-matched, non-demented, autopsy-confirmed controls derived from the Alzheimer Disease Genetics Consortium. […] Our study uncovered a novel genetic signal at C4A which encodes the acidic form of complement factor 4, part of the classical activation pathway. […] A significant locus in the HLA region near C4A has also been identified in a GWAS of ALS, which is hypothesized to be a distal (dying-back) axonopathy, suggesting the possibility that axon-myelin interactions might contribute to and link these disorders. […] In summary, this study identified six independent susceptibility loci including a novel locus at 6p21.32 associated with PSP, a neurodegenerative disease characterized by movement, cognitive, and behavioral impairments.

    Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a rare brain disorder that causes dementia and problems with walking and balance. About 20,000 Americans or one in every 100,000 people over age 60 have PSP. […] Patients tend to be middle-age or elderly. Men are affected more often than women. […] The disease can be difficult to diagnose because it’s rare and sometimes mistaken for Parkinson’s disease. […] An early diagnosis of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is difficult because initial complaints typically are vague. PSP often is misdiagnosed because some symptoms are very much like those of Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease and more rare neuro-degenerative disorders, such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. […] A thorough evaluation is important to diagnosis PSP. This involves an interview with you and another person such as a spouse, relative or close friend to provide examples of behavior and daily activities, physical testing for mobility and vision, and neuropsychological testing for evaluation of thinking and reasoning.

    Epidemiology seeks to prevent disease by identifying risk factors, be they genetic and/or environmental, that are of etiological relevance through the use of descriptive studies, natural experiments, and very occasionally randomized trials. […] This chapter will focus on descriptive studies that have either measured disease frequency (prevalence or incidence) or estimated the risk associated with environmental exposures. […] For any uncommon disease, undertaking epidemiological studies presents several major challenges: case identification, representativeness of cases, and obtaining adequate sample sizes. […] For both PSP and MSA, there are additional problems as both these conditions can be difficult to diagnose. […] As there are no adequate tests that are both highly sensitive and specific, the gold standard remains the diagnostic expertise of a movement disorders specialist.

    Progressive nuclear palsy (PSP) is a lethal neurodegenerative disease, characterized by the deposition of 4-repeat (4R)-Tau in the brain. […] Public health efforts to reduce the morbidity and mortality of this disease are currently undermined by our limited understanding of the disease and its pathogenesis. […] While information on healthcare resource utilization and the economic impact of PSP is generally lacking, the sparse data that exists suggests that patients with PSP utilize the emergency department (ED) an inordinate amount. […] The overall aim of this pilot study was to describe the usage of the ED by patients with PSP, to better characterize the impact of specific causes of morbidity in the disease. […] Increased knowledge of how and why the ED is used in PSP could improve public health efforts targeted at reducing morbidity by highlighting where better preventative measures need to be developed. […] Our findings suggest that falls are indeed the most common and significant reason that PSP patients seek emergency medical care.

    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10421779/
    Studies of the epidemiology of PSP and CBS report highly heterogeneous findings. There is a need for further studies using rigorous phenotyping and the most recent diagnostic criteria to understand the true burden of these conditions. […] Epidemiological data on CBS and PSP are limited due to the relative rarity of the conditions; their protean presentation and the degree of pathological heterogeneity which they exhibit. However, an accurate understanding of the burden of disease is important for planning of medical services, provision of care, and the administration of disease modifying treatments. […] Prevalence data on PSP and/or CBS was reported in 23 studies. This included 20 papers and three conference abstracts. 15 studies reported prevalence data on PSP only, three reported on CBS only, and five reported data on both PSP and CBS. […] Reported incidence rates for PSP ranged from 0.3 to 2.6 per 100,000 person-years, while age-adjusted rates ranged from 0.12 to 2.0 per 100,000 person-years. […] The incidence of CBS ranged from 0.03 [14] to 0.8 per 100,000 person-years [18].

    Medications, imaging, assistive devices, supportive care, and surgeries and procedures were the most widely utilized healthcare resources, each of which was used by at least 85% of participants at some point during the disease course. […] This study adds to these findings by characterizing changes in HRU after individuals receive a diagnosis, including an increase in the utilization of assistive devices and supportive care that would be challenging to assess in claims or EHR databases. […] This novel retrospective study adds to our current knowledge and understanding of PSP symptoms, comorbidities, and HRU across the disease journey.

    Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a rare neurodegenerative brain disease with rapid progression and currently limited treatment options. A comprehensive understanding of disease progression, management, and healthcare resource utilization is limited, and further research is challenging due to the small population of patients. […] This retrospective study adds to the current understanding of PSP symptoms, comorbidities, and healthcare resource utilization (HRU) across the disease journey. […] Understanding disease progression is a concern for patients, caregivers, and physicians, especially given the lack of disease-modifying treatments. […] Recruitment for research studies in PSP presents additional challenges due to the older age at PSP diagnosis and the rapid progression of the disease.

    Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is one of the most common degenerative forms of atypical parkinsonism, with an estimated prevalence of 5 to 7.1 per 100,000 person-years. It is approximately two to three times more prevalent than corticobasal degeneration (CBD) and multiple system atrophy (MSA) but approximately ten times less common than Parkinson disease (PD). Males and females are affected in equal proportions. […] This topic will review the epidemiology, pathology, clinical features, and diagnosis of PSP.

    Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is an uncommon, progressive, neurodegenerative condition which classically presents with eye movement abnormalities, axial rigidity, early falls and cognitive impairment. […] Estimates of PSP prevalence vary considerably with rates of 5-6 per 100,000 commonly quoted, although a recent study of Yonago City, Japan reported a prevalence as high as 17.9 per 100,000. […] Estimates of the annual incidence of PSP range from 0.9-1.9 per 100,000. […] Data from the UK Biobank, a large prospective cohort study of more than 500,000 people, has been used to study potential pre-diagnostic features of PSP. […] PSP is typically a sporadic disorder, however, familial cases related to mutations in the MAPT gene as well as cases related to LRRK2 mutations have been identified.
