Assessing healthcare resource utilization burden and unmet treatment needs in patients with Parkinson's disease: results from a real-world study.

ABSTRACT: Aim: Current Parkinson's disease (PD) research evaluates patients with early and severe PD, but often overlooks patients with intermediate PD.
