Report generated on data submitted as of October 23, 2017. DaTSCAN is not completed at month 36. Contralateral putamen is labeled in regard to the more clinically affected PD body side.

a

Hoehn & Yahr P value comes from a logistic model comparing Stages 0 to 1 vs 2 to 5.

ADLs, activities of daily living; N/A, not applicable; DAT, Dopamine transporter; DatScan, 123‐I Ioflupane; SPECT, single photon emission computed tomography imaging.
