  • Survival time, mortality, and cause of death in elderly patients with Parkinson's disease : A 9-year follow-up
  • 2003
  • Ingår i: Movement Disorders. - : Wiley. - 0885-3185 .- 1531-8257. ; 18:11, s. 1312-1316
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • This community-based study of Parkinson's disease (PD) investigated age at death and cause of death in a cohort of 170 previously studied patients. The current study is a 9-year follow-up, and the results are compared to 510 sex- and age-matched controls from the same area. A total of 170 patients were diagnosed with PD on August 31, 1989, within a defined area of Sweden. A control group of 510 persons from the same area and with the same age and sex distribution was also examined regarding age at death and cause of death. After 9.4 years, 121 cases (71.1%) and 229 controls (44.9%) were no longer alive. Thus, the mortality rate ratio was 1.6 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.3-1.8) when comparing PD patients with controls. The all-cause hazard ratio for cases compared to controls was 2.4 (95% CI, 1.9-3.0). The mean age at death for the cases was 81.9 (95% CI, 80.3-83.0) years and for the controls 82.9 (95% CI, 82.0-83.7) years. Survival analysis also showed a shorter survival time (P < 0.001) for PD patients. Only 53% of the death certificates for the deceased patients recorded PD as an underlying or contributory cause of death. Many PD patients reached a high age but had a shorter survival than the controls. There was a significant increase in deaths from pneumonia.

  • Health status measurement in Parkinson's disease : validity of the PDQ-39 and Nottingham Health Profile
  • 2003
  • Ingår i: Movement Disorders. - : John Wiley & Sons Inc.. - 0885-3185 .- 1531-8257. ; 18:7, s. 773-783
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • We assessed the feasibility and psychometric properties of two commonly used health status questionnaires in Parkinson's disease (PD): the generic Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) and the disease-specific 39-item Parkinson's disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39), from a cross-sectional postal survey of PD patients (N = 81), using traditional and Rasch measurement methodologies. Overall response rate was 88%. Both questionnaires were found feasible, although the NHP performed less well. The PDQ-39 had fewer floor effects and was better able to separate respondents into distinct groups than the NHP, whereas the latter exhibited less ambiguous dimensionality and better targeting of respondents with non-extreme scores. Reliability and validity indices were similar, and potential differential item functioning by age and gender groups was found for both questionnaires. PDQ-39 response alternatives indicated ambiguity. With few exceptions, questionnaire scales were unable to meet recommended standards fully. While preliminary, this study illustrates the need for thorough evaluation of outcome measures and has implications beyond the questionnaires used here. Although promising, both questionnaires warrant further developmental work and stronger support of measurement validity before they could be considered fully suitable for valid use in PD, in particular in earlier stages of the disease.

  • Does the ADL part of the unified Parkinson's disease rating scale measure ADL? An evaluation in patients after pallidotomy and thalamic deep brain stimulation.
  • 2003
  • Ingår i: Movement Disorders. - : Wiley. - 0885-3185 .- 1531-8257. ; 18:4, s. 373-381
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • We evaluated the impact of pallidotomy and thalamic deep brain stimulation (DBS) on disability of patients with advanced Parkinson's disease and investigated whether the activities of daily living (ADL) section of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) measures disability in everyday life. Nineteen patients who had pallidotomy and 14 patients who had thalamic DBS were followed for a mean of 11 months. Evaluation tools included the UPDRS as well as a generic ADL scale, called ADL taxonomy. The 13 items belonging to the ADL part of the UPDRS were classified into two categories according to whether the items described a disability or impairment. The total scores of the UPDRS Part II (ADL) were ameliorated in both the pallidotomy and the thalamic DBS groups. When analysing separately the scores from the two categories of the ADL part of the UPDRS, i.e., disability and impairment, only patients who underwent pallidotomy showed improvement in disability-related items. These findings were confirmed when evaluating the patients with the ADL taxonomy. The ADL part of the UPDRS contains a mixture of impairment- and disability-related items. This mixture may confound results when evaluating the impact of surgery on ADL.

  • Bilateral subthalamic nucleus stimulation in a parkinsonian patient with preoperative deficits in speech and cognition : persistent improvement in mobility but increased dependency
  • 2000
  • Ingår i: Movement Disorders. - 0885-3185 .- 1531-8257. ; 15:1, s. 136-139
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • We report a patient with advanced Parkinson's disease, including severe and frequent off periods with freezing of gait, moderate dysphonia, and some cognitive impairment, who underwent bilateral subthalamic nucleus (STN) stimulation. The patient was followed for 1 year after surgery, showing persistent good mobility without off periods and without freezing, which reverted completely when stopping the stimulation. There was deterioration of cognition as well as increased aphonia and drooling, all of which remained when the stimulation was turned off. The striking improvement in motor symptoms following STN stimulation was not paralleled by improvement in disability, probably as a result of a cognitive decline, suggesting a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease with dementia. We conclude that chronic STN stimulation is efficient in alleviating akinetic motor symptoms including gait freezing; this surgery should be offered before patients start to exhibit speech or cognitive disturbances.

  • Stereotactic imaging of the pallidal target
  • 2002
  • Ingår i: Movement Disorders. - : Wiley. - 0885-3185 .- 1531-8257. ; 17:suppl 3, s. S130-S134
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • In 48 consecutive patients, we applied a new stereotactic imaging technique to individually visualize the pallidal target before surgery. A turbo spin-echo proton density sequence (acquisition time, 6 minutes 5 seconds) was used for 2-mm-thick contiguous axial scanning. Pallidocapsular border, medial putaminal border, and optic tract were visualized bilaterally in all patients. Boundaries of globus pallidus internus, globus pallidus externus, and lamina medullaris interna were clearly visualised in 71% of the patients. The anatomic target point was chosen in the middle of the visualized posteroventral pallidum, irrespective of the position of this point in relation to commissures. The lateralities of pallidocapsular border, lamina medullaris interna, and medial boundary of putamen were measured bilaterally in each patient, and the width of the posteroventral pallidum was assessed. The laterality of structures (measured from a point 2 mm anterior to midcommissural point and at a level 2-4 mm below anterior commissure-posterior commissure line) showed a wide range. The position of the pallidocapsular border varied by up to almost 1 cm between the most medial and the most lateral one. There were also variations in the position of the pallidal structures between left and right hemispheres in the same patients. The posteroventral pallidum was slightly more wide on the left than the right side. Given the significant inter- and intra-individual variabilities of the position of pallidal structures, it may be hazardous to rely solely on the atlas and the commissures for targeting. A magnetic resonance imaging sequence that enables visualization in each individual patient of the target area and its surroundings may contribute to less electrode passes during intraoperative physiological exploration and to more exact location of the lesion or chronic electrode in the posteroventral pallidum.
