A Post Marketing Observational Study of Activities of Daily Living in Advanced Parkinson's Disease Patients With Early Troublesome Motor Fluctuations and Treated With Duodopa - a Multi-country Study

The UPDRS is an Investigator-used rating tool to follow the longitudinal course of Parkinson's disease. The Part II score is the sum of the answers to 13 questions, each of which are measured on a 5-point scale (0-4). The Part II score ranges from 0-52 and higher scores are associated with more disability. UPDRS scores during "On" time (when PD symptoms are well controlled by the drug) are presented. Last observation carried forward (LOCF) was used for missing data.

The UPDRS IV questionnaire consists of 4 individual items that assess the degree of dyskinesias (Item 32: duration; Item 33: disability; and Item 34: pain) and clinical fluctuations (Item 39: percentage of "off" times of the waking day). Individual UPDRS IV item scores range from 0 to 4. Higher scores indicate a higher complication of therapy. Observed values are presented for each visit as well as LOCF at 12 months after discharge. n=the number of participants with data at baseline and given time point.

The UPDRS III questionnaire consists of 14 questions on motor examinations rated from 0 (absent/normal) to 4 (extreme impairment). Questions 20-26 are multi-part questions in that they are evaluated separately for multiple body parts (for example, for the left and right hand). Counting each of these assessments leads to a total of 27 answers. The UPDRS III score ranges from 0 to 108 with higher values indicating greater impairment and was calculated as the sum of the 27 answers provided to the 14 questions. Observed values are presented for each visit as well as LOCF at 12 months after discharge. n=the number of participants with data at baseline and given time point.

Non-motor symptoms assessed over the previous month were scored with respect to severity (0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe) and with respect to frequency (1 = rarely, 2 = often, 3 = frequent, 4 = very frequent). The total NMSS score ranges from 0 to 360 with higher values indicating greater impairment and was calculated as the sum of all individual score values. Observed values are presented for each visit as well as LOCF at 12 months after discharge. n=the number of participants with data at baseline and given time point.

Participants were asked to state how often they had encountered certain problems over the past four weeks using the following rating scale: Never (0), occasionally (1), sometimes (2), often (3), always or cannot do at all (4). The PDQ-8 summary index was derived as the sum of the single items divided by 32. Scores range from 0 to 100. A higher summary index score indicates a higher impairment of quality of life. Observed values are presented for each visit as well as LOCF at 12 months after discharge. n=the number of participants with data at baseline and given time point.

Participants were asked about their utilization of healthcare resources within the previous 3 months, including total number of office visits, total number of visits at home for Parkinson's disease, total number of emergency situations (overnight hospital stay, visit at emergency room, calls for immediate assistance [family/friend)], and calls to 911/emergency), received assistance at home (family/friend or paid caregiver), and falls. n=the number of participants with data at baseline and given time point.
