Influence of Anosognosia on Patient-Reported Outcomes for Psychiatric Symptoms and Quality of Life in Huntington ’s Disease

Anosognosia, defined as reduced awareness of one ’s deficit or symptom, is common in Huntington’s disease (HD) and detectable at each disease stage. The impact of anosognosia on self-reporting in HD populations is critical to understand given growing use of patient-reported outcomes in HD clinical care and research. We aimed to determine the i nfluence of anosognosia on patient-reported outcome measures assessing psychiatric symptoms and quality of life in HD.
