High rates of blood transfusion associated with Parkinson's disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

As evidence continues to accumulate regarding the multi-organ dysfunction associated with Parkinson's disease (PD), it is still unclear as to whether PD increases the risk of hematological pathology. In this study, the authors investigate the association between PD and hematological pathology risk factors.

Methods

This retrospective cohort analysis was conducted using 8 years of the National Readmission Database. All individuals diagnosed with PD were queried at the time of primary admission. Readmissions, complications, and risk factors were analyzed at 30-, 90-, 180-, and 300-day intervals.
