This research aims to explore healthcare utilization patterns of individuals with Parkinson's disease who have moderate to high palliative care needs.
Analyzed healthcare utilization rates in individuals with Parkinson's disease and related disorders
Compared utilization rates with broader Parkinson's populations and dementia
Focused on persistent home-based care needs
Utilization rates were higher than those in the general Parkinson's population
Rates were lower than those observed in dementia populations
Significant ongoing demands for supportive care were identified
Abstract
Utilization rates exceeded those reported in broader PD populations but were lower than in dementia. Persistent home-based care needs highlight ongoing supportive care demands.
