Background: Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disease, which significantly impacts patients' quality of life and is associated with high treatment and direct healthcare costs. In England, levodopa/carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG) is indicated for the treatment of levodopa-responsive advanced Parkinson's disease with troublesome motor fluctuations when available combinations of medicinal products are unsatisfactory.
Objective: We aimed to determine the cost effectiveness of LCIG compared to the standard of care for patients with advanced Parkinson's disease in England, using real-world data.
