Article Synopsis
- Advanced Parkinson's Disease (APD) is characterized by severe symptoms and a poor response to standard treatments, but its prevalence has not been well-studied historically.
- The study aimed to assess the prevalence of APD among patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease in Spanish hospitals, while also examining the broader characteristics of PD patients.
- Findings revealed that 38.2% of patients had APD, with relevant statistics on demographic factors, co-morbidities, quality of life, and treatment options available for advanced stages of the disease.
