Background: Advanced stage of Parkinson's disease (APD) diagnosis is challenging for general neurologists. The 5-2-1 Criteria and the Cuestionario De Enfermedad de Parkinson Avanzada (CDEPA) have been validated for screening for APD.
Objective: This article reports the period-prevalence of APD defined by a movement disorder expert, the 5-2-1 Criteria, and CDEPA and to improve the screening performance of the 5-2-1 Criteria METHODS: A cross-sectional retrospective study at the Parkinson's disease (PD) clinic of a tertiary hospital in Bangkok, Thailand amongst all PD patients aged ≥ 18 years was performed from January 2016 to January 2020.
Introduction: Gait and axial postural abnormalities (PA) are common and disabling symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). The interplay between them has been poorly explored.
Methods: A standardized protocol encompassing videos and photos for posture and gait analysis of PD patients with a clinically defined PA (MDS-UPDRS-III item 3.
Introduction: Postural abnormalities (PA) are disabling features of Parkinson's disease (PD). Indirect analyses suggested a higher prevalence of PA among Asian patients compared to Caucasian ones, but no direct comparisons have been performed so far.
Methods: An international, multicenter, cross-sectional study was performed in 6 European and Asian movement disorders centers with the aim to clarify differences and similarities of prevalence and characteristics of PA in Asian vs.
Background: Rhabdomyolysis associated with levodopa-induced dyskinesia (Rhab-LID) is an extremely rare, life-threatening, but treatable condition in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).
Case Report: We reported two cases of Rhab-LID. The first case was a 64-year-old man presenting with severe generalized dyskinesia with elevated serum creatine kinase (CK) level.
