Clinical and molecular predictors of survival among atypical parkinsonian syndromes in a North African tertiary referral center.

This study determined survival rates in APS subgroups,which were comparable across synucleinopathies but shorter in PSP and longer in CBS.It also characterized demographic,phenotypic,and genetic profiles identifying more aggressive forms within APS subgroups.These findings address clinical gaps,aiding counseling for patients and families and guiding clinical management.Furthermore,they could facilitate patient stratification in clinical trials where mortality is an outcome measure.
