Exploring factors that influence HRQoL for people living with Parkinson's in one region of Ireland: A cross-sectional study.

The diversity of symptoms associated with Parkinson's and their impact on functioning have led to an increased interest in exploring factors that impact Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL).
