Abstract

•Mortality increases in Parkinson's disease (PD) and is difficult to predict because of lack of reliable prognostic markers.•We used two minutes of EEG recordings and the Linear Predictive Coding EEG Algorithm for PD (LEAPD) to assess mortality.•We used LEAPD to classify 3-year mortality status and correlate LEAPD indices with time to death.•Out of sample tests gave high classification accuracy and high Spearman’s correlation between LEAPD indices and time to death.•Short resting state EEG using LEAPD can predict mortality and time to death in PD. Mortality is increased in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and is difficult to predict because of its heterogeneity and the availability of few reliable prognostic markers. We used electroencephalography (EEG) recordings and the Linear Predictive Coding EEG Algorithm for PD (LEAPD) to classify 3-year mortality status and correlate LEAPD indices with time to death. 2-minutes resting-state EEG from 94 PD patients was used for binary classification of 3-year mortality status (22 deceased). Single-channel classification using a balanced dataset of 44 was performed using leave-one-out cross-validation (LOOCV). Robustness was evaluated by truncating the recordings. LOOCV Spearman’s correlation coefficient (ρ) was obtained between LEAPD indices and time to death. Optimum hyperparameters obtained using a balanced training dataset of 30 were tested on the remaining 64 by 10,000 randomized comparisons of 7 vs 7, using 5 channel combinations. Separate hyperparameters for the best ρ, obtained using the same training dataset, were used for out-of-sample correlation for the remaining 7 deceased. The deceased participants were older and had more severe disease and worse cognition at baseline. Several EEG channels yielded 100 % LOOCV accuracy. Five had robust performance under data truncation. The correlations ranged between ρ = −0.59 to −0.86 and were significant after adjusting for age, cognitive and motor impairment. Out-of-sample testing using the best-performing 5-channel combination yielded a mean accuracy of 83 %. Out-of-sample Spearman’s ρ was −0.82. Short resting EEG using machine learning algorithms such as linear predictive coding can predict mortality in PD.
