Backgroundl-dopa is the standard treatment for Parkinson’s disease, but the response is variable.AimSystematic review of papers reporting the l-dopa response (motor response and/or complications) in pathologically confirmed Parkinson’s disease.Results467 cases of pathologically confirmed Parkinson’s were identified: 60.2% male, age at disease onset 63.3 years (SD 10.3), age at death 76.7 years (SD 7.8). Data on a graded l-dopa response were available in 411 cases (88.0% of 467). The motor response was excellent in 148/411 cases (36.0%), good in 179/411 (43.6%), moderate in 51/411 (12.4%) and poor/absent in 33/411 (8.0%). Data about motor complications were available for 161 patients: 71/161 (44.1%) had motor fluctuations and 89/161 (55.3%) had dyskinesia. Comorbid brain pathology was evaluated in 251/411 cases (61.1%), and was present in 148/251 (59.0%): cerebrovascular in 65/148 (43.9%), Alzheimer’s in 55/148 (37.2%), amyloid angiopathy in 18/148 (12.2%), and diffuse Lewy body disease in 10/148 (6.8%). Data linking the graded l-dopa response to comorbid pathologies were available in only 17 cases, of whom 8/17 (47.1%) had a good/excellent response.ConclusionThere is variation in the l-dopa response in pathologically confirmed Parkinson’s disease. The limited available information suggests a possible association of motor response to comorbid brain pathology.

Background: No studies have reported the rate of motor complications (MC) and response to medical and surgical treatment in a population-based cohort of young-onset Parkinson's Disease (YOPD) patients and a cohort of sex-matched late-onset Parkinson's Disease (LOPD).Objective: To assess the outcomes of dopaminergic treatment in YOPD and LOPD, explore treatment-induced MC, medical adjustment, and rate of deep brain stimulation (DBS).Methods: We used the expanded Rochester Epidemiology Project (eREP) to investigate a population-based cohort of YOPD between 2010 and 2015 in 7 counties in Minnesota. Cases with onset ≤55 years of age were included as YOPD. An additional sex-matched cohort of LOPD (onset at ≥56 years of age) was included for comparison. All medical records were reviewed to confirm the diagnoses.Results: In the seven counties 2010–15, there were 28 YOPD patients, which were matched with a LOPD cohort. Sixteen (57%) YOPD had MC, as compared to 9 (32%) LOPD. In YOPD, 9 had motor fluctuations (MF) and Levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) together, whereas 3 had LID only and 4 MF only. In LOPD, 3 had MF and LID, 3 MF only, and 3 LID only. Following medical treatment for MC, 6/16 YOPD (38%) and 3/9 (33%) LOPD had symptoms resolution. In YOPD, 11/16 (69%) were considered for DBS implantation, in LOPD they were 2/9 (22%), but only 7 (6 YOPD and 1 LOPD) underwent the procedure. YOPD had significantly higher rates in both DBS candidacy and DBS surgery (respectively, p = 0.03 and p = 0.04). Among DBS-YOPD, 5/6 (83%) had positive motor response to the surgery; the LOPD case had a poor response. We report the population-based incidence of both YOPD with motor complications and YOPD undergoing DBS, which were 1.17 and 0.44 cases per 100,000 person-years, respectively.Conclusion: Fifty-seven percent of our YOPD patients and 32% of the LOPD had motor complications. Roughly half of both YOPD and LOPD were treatment resistant. YOPD had higher rates of DBS candidacy and surgery. Six YOPD and 1 LOPD underwent DBS implantation and most of them had a positive motor response after the surgery.
