Quality of life predicts rehabilitation prognosis in Parkinson's disease patients: Factors influence rehabilitation prognosis: Factors influence rehabilitation prognosis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Rehabilitation has been reported to improve the quality of life (QoL) of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Nevertheless, not all patients are satisfied with rehabilitation outcomes and could achieve a significant improvement in QoL.

Objective

To detect possible predictors of QoL improvement in patients with PD after rehabilitation.

Methods

A total of 86 PD patients were included and followed up for 3 months with a 39-item Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire summary index (PDQ-39 SI) as the primary endpoint. All patients received 2 weeks of multidisciplinary intensive rehabilitation treatment (MIRT). Changes in patients' QoL were assessed using the PDQ-39 at baseline and at the 3-month follow-up. The reliable change index (RCI) was adapted to determine t
