Trends in Mortality Due to Cardiovascular Diseases Among Patients With Parkinson's Disease in the United States: A Retrospective Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Parkinson disease (PD) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) present significant health burdens, particularly among older adults. Patients with PD have an elevated risk of CVD-related mortality. Analyzing mortality trends in this population may help guide focused interventions.

Methods

Mortality data were extracted from the CDC WONDER database, using ICD-10 code G20 for PD and I00-I99 for CVD. Age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMR) per 100,000 were calculated and trends were examined across variables including gender, year, race, and urbanization, place of death, region, and state. Annual percentage change (APC) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) was computed using Joinpoint regression.

Results

A total of 138 151 CVD-related deaths were reported among individuals
