Objective: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia, and postural instability. PD also involves nonmotor manifestations such as autonomic failure, cognitive disorders, and sleep disorders. These clinical characteristics are not identical in severity, frequency, and onset time in all PD patients. We assessed whether there is a negative effect on cognition of clinical autonomic dysfunction in PD patients.Results: Mean age was 66,5±11.2 years. There was no correlation between cognitive test scores and SCOPA-OUT scores (p>0.05). However, H-Y scores were negatively correlated with the DSTf, DSTr, FAB, and MMSE scores (p50.005, r:-0.451; p50.025, r: -0.367; p50.040, r: -0.340; p50.044, r5-0.333, respectively).

In addition, severity of cognitive dysfunction showed a strong negative correlation with the stage of disease.
