Abbreviated MDS-UPDRS for Remote Monitoring in PD Identified Using Exhaustive Computational Search

Table 1

Items contained within the subsets that rank highest, by explained variance score on the training dataset, while adhering (“remote”) or not adhering (“any-item”) to the remote assessment constraints defined in Section 2.3. These subsets share four of the same items, and both correspond to the same core aspects of Parkinson’s disease; movement of upper limbs (3.4 or 3.5) and lower limbs (3.9 or 3.7), tremor (2.10), axial (2.12 or 3.13), speech/facial muscles (3.2 or 2.1), activities of daily living (2.5), fatigue (1.13), and time in Off (4.3).
