Improving Prediction of Falls and Cognitive Impairment in Parkinson Disease: Protocol for a Decentralized Observational Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Falls and cognitive impairment are major sources of disability in Parkinson disease (PD). The ability to accurately identify individuals with PD at high risk for falls and cognitive impairment would provide an opportunity for intervention and potentially improve long-term outcomes. In a previous study, Assessing Telehealth Outcomes in Multiyear Extensions of Parkinson Disease Trials (AT-HOME PD), we remotely characterized participants with early PD who had participated in 1 of 2 PD clinical trials over 2 years of follow-up. These participants with advancing disease provide a unique opportunity to examine whether the capture of objective in-home measures via digital tools and bothersome symptoms via direct participant report improves the prediction of disease milestones.<
