Abstract
Background: In 2015, the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society published clinical diagnostic criteria for Parkinson's disease. These criteria aimed to codify/reproduce the expert clinical diagnostic process and to help standardize diagnosis in research and clinical settings. Their accuracy compared with expert clinical diagnosis has not been tested. The objectives of this study were to validate the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society diagnostic criteria against a gold standard of expert clinical diagnosis, and to compare concordance/accuracy of the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society criteria to 1988 United Kingdom Brain Bank criteria.
