Activities of Daily Living Are Improved by Inpatient Multimodal Complex Treatment for PD-a Real-World Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The multimodal complex treatment for Parkinson's disease (MCT) provides inpatient care by a multi-disciplinary team for people with Parkinson's disease (PwP) in Germany.

Objectives

We conducted a 5-year real-world mono-center cohort study to describe the effectiveness of MCT in the full cohort and various subgroups and outcome predictors.

Methods

We collected an anonymized dataset between Jan 2015 and Dec 2019, involving N = 1773. The self-reported MDS-UPDRS part II was used as primary outcome, and clinical routine data for explanatory variables. PwP were categorized as responders or non-responders according to a response of at least 3 points 4 weeks after discharge.

Results

N = 591 complete data records were available for statistical analyses
