- This study is the first systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the prevalence of visual and auditory hallucinations in Parkinson’s disease and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). The study was pre-registered with PROSPERO and adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) statement. As visual hallucinations are a core diagnostic criteria for DLB, this original analysis provided important new understanding of visual hallucination prevalence, and identified the key role of auditory hallucinations in disease progression. Another key finding was the first identification of the disparate and inharmonious approaches for assessing hallucinosis across the globe, which may undermine diagnostic accuracy and treatments. This new knowledge is informing ongoing work across the field to better standardise hallucination assessment and demonstrates the powerful application of meta-scientific approaches to address research questions that individual studies cannot.
