Survival in Restless Legs Syndrome: An 11-Year Surveillance, Community-Based Population Study
Conclusions: RLS seems not to be associated with increased mortality compared to the general population. Still, studies with prospective data collection with large samples are needed to study the long-term mortality risk factors in RLS cohorts.Neuroepidemiology (Source: Neuroepidemiology)

COVID-19 Infection and Neurological Complications: Present Findings and Future Predictions
The present outbreak caused by SARS-CoV-2, an influenza virus with neurotropic potential, presents with neurological manifestations in a large proportion of the affected individuals. Disorders of the central and peripheral nervous system are all present, while stroke, ataxia, seizures, and depressed level of consciousness are more common in severely affected patients. People with these severe complications are most likely elderly with medical comorbidities, especially hypertension and other vascular risk factors. However, postinfectious complications are also expected. Neurological disorders as sequelae of influenza viruse...

Epidemiology, Clinical Features, and Use of Early Supportive Measures in PHACE Syndrome: A European Multinational Observational Study
Conclusions: Our study provides population-based estimates for PHACE syndrome in 3 German-speaking countries. The data from Switzerland indicate that PHACE syndrome may be more prevalent than demonstrated by previous reports. Underreporting of PHACE syndrome in Germany and Austria likely accounts for the differences in prevalence rates. The clinical observation of a potential association between the size of facial hemangioma and extent of organ involvement warrants further investigation.Neuroepidemiology (Source: Neuroepidemiology)

Decision Tree Clinical Algorithm for Screening of Mild Cognitive Impairment in the Elderly in Primary Health Care: Development, Test of Accuracy, and Time-Effectiveness Analysis
This study intends to develop a decision tree clinical algorithm based on a combination of simple neurological physical examination and brief cognitive assessment for distinguishing elderly with MCI from normal elderly in primary health care. This is a diagnostic study, comparative analysis in elderly with normal cognition and those presenting with MCI. We enrolled 212 elderly people aged 60.04 –79.92 years old. Multivariate statistical analysis showed that the existence of subjective memory complaints, history of lack of physical exercise, abnormal verbal semantic fluency, and poor one-leg balance were found to be predi...

Exposure to Medical Radiation during Fetal Life, Childhood and Adolescence and Risk of Brain Tumor in Young Age: Results from The MOBI-Kids Case-Control Study
Conclusions: There was little evidence for an association between IR from radio-diagnostic procedures and brain tumor risk in children and adolescents. Though doses were very low, our results suggest a higher risk for pre-natal and early life exposure, in line with current evidence.Neuroepidemiology 2020;54:343 –355 (Source: Neuroepidemiology)

Variability in Palliative Care Use after Intracerebral Hemorrhage at US Hospitals: A Multilevel Analysis
Conclusions: Substantial variation in PC use after ICH exists among US hospitals. A substantial proportion of this between-hospital variability remains unexplained even after accounting for patient and hospital characteristics.Neuroepidemiology (Source: Neuroepidemiology)

Prevalence and Socioeconomic Status of Patients with Genetic Myopathy in Korea: A Nationwide, Population-Based Study
Conclusions: Our study was the first nationwide epidemiologic study of the prevalence and socioeconomic status of patients with genetic myopathy in Korea. Our results confirmed a sex divergence in a younger population and those with low socioeconomic status among patients with genetic myopathy.Neuroepidemiology (Source: Neuroepidemiology)

The Modifying Effect of Age on Survival in Parkinson ’s Disease: A Population-Based Cohort Study
Conclusion: Our large-scale cohort enabled us to find an age-differential standardized death risk among PD patients, with the largest increased risk at ages 60 –69 years. Comorbidities and other contributory factors warrant further investigation.Neuroepidemiology (Source: Neuroepidemiology)
