Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Previous studies investigating cardiovascular disorders in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) showed heterogeneous results regarding whether there is a higher or lower risk of myocardial infarction (MI) in these patients compared to the general population. Because of the inconsistency in findings, herein the aim was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the risk of MI in patients with PD. METHODS A comprehensive literature search was performed using four databases, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus and Embase, in June 2022. Peer-reviewed observational studies comprising case-controls, cohort, cross-sectional and longitudinal studies that reported MI in the PD population were included. RESULTS After the screening, 20 studies with a total of 80,441 patients with PD and 802,857 controls were included in our qualitative and quantitative synthesis. The pooled estimated odds ratio for MI in PD patients compared to controls was 0.80 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.56-1.05) which indicates that there is no association. The pooled prevalence of MI was 5% (95% CI 3%-7%) with a range of 1%-20% amongst patients with PD. The men (6%, 95% CI 1%-13%) and women (6%, 95% CI 1%-14%, Q = 29.27, I2 = 98.50%, p < 0.001) had similar MI prevalence. CONCLUSION This comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis provide compelling evidence that PD is associated with a reduced risk of MI. Whilst the exact mechanism underlying this association remains to be fully elucidated, it is clear that certain risk factors for cardiac events appear to be less present in PD patients, which may serve as a protective factor. However, given the reports of increased risk for cerebrovascular events in PD patients, it is possible that the major risk factors for MI and cardiovascular accidents in this population differ. These findings have important implications for clinical management and further research in this area is warranted.

Abstract
Surgical treatment for patients with Parkinson disease (PD) under general anesthesia has become frequent. PD is a significant predictor of postoperative complications. However, the factors that predict complications in patients with PD remain unknown. We retrospectively recruited patients with PD who underwent surgery between April 2015 and March 2019. The prevalence of postoperative complications was analyzed. We compared the patient characteristics, medical data, and surgical data between patients with and without postoperative complications. We also estimated the odds ratios (OR) for postoperative complications in patients with PD who underwent surgery. Sixty-five patients were enrolled. Eighteen patients presented with 22 complications, including urinary tract infections (UTI) (n = 3; 5%), pneumonia (n = 1; 2%), surgical site infections (SSI) (n = 3; 5%), postoperative delirium (POD) (n = 7; 10%), and others (n = 8; 12%). Four patients presented with 2 complications each. The operation time, the red blood cell transfusion and the rate of rotigotine usage were higher in patients with complications than those without (314 ± 197 min vs 173 ± 145 min, P = .006; 0 [0-560] mL vs 0 [0-0] mL, P = .02; 39% vs 6%, P = .003, respectively) (mean ± standard deviation or median [interquartile range]). Preoperative rotigotine usage (OR: 9.33; 95% confidential interval [CI]: 2.07-42.07; P = .004) was an independent risk factors for postoperative complications. The findings indicate that clinicians should closely monitor postoperative complications when patients with PD who have received transdermal dopamine agonists undergone longer time surgery.

Abstract
Emphysematous cystitis (EC) is a bladder pathology typically resulting from gas-producing bacterial infections. Risk factors include female gender, age greater than 60, diabetes mellitus, glycosuria, and urinary stasis. If not addressed promptly, it can progress to critical conditions. Management depends on severity, ranging from conservative to surgical interventions. We present a unique case of EC in a patient who lacked the most common risk factors, and who experienced a spontaneous intraperitoneal bladder rupture. Additionally, we treated this presentation against what historically is suggested. Lastly, this is the first published incidence of a patient with both Parkinson's Disease and EC.

Postoperative Complication Rates After One-Level Cervical Spine Surgery in Patients with Parkinson Disease: A Database Study. World Neurosurg 2022; 165:e479-e487. [PMID: 35752419 DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2022.06.081] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2022] [Revised: 06/14/2022] [Accepted: 06/15/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Parkinson disease (PD) is a risk factor for worse surgical outcomes. The degree to which PD affects outcomes in cervical spine surgery is not well understood. Therefore, we characterize rates of postoperative complications among patients with PD who undergo cervical spine surgery. METHODS Using the PearlDiver database, we identified patients who underwent 1-level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), posterior cervical fusion (PCF), or discectomy/decompression with concomitant PD between 2011 and 2019. Patients with PD who underwent surgery and had 1 year follow-up were included. Complications 30, 60, and 90 days after surgery were identified and aggregated into body systems (e.g., respiratory and gastrointestinal). Comparison controls without concomitant PD who received cervical spine (C-spine) surgery were matched for age, sex, and comorbidities. RESULTS A total of 259,443 ACDFs, 30,929 PCFs, and 29,563 decompressions were identified. Of these procedures, 1117 were performed on patients with PD (0.35%). The highest 90-day complications rates in patients with PD were pulmonary and gastrointestinal related (6.05%) in those who received ACDF, neuro related (8.51%) in those who received PCF, and genitourinary related (8.76%) in those who received a decompression. Compared with patients without PD, postoperative complications rates were similar and not significantly different. CONCLUSIONS Patients with PD who receive ACDF have higher rates of pulmonary (6.05%), neurologic (5.24%), and psychiatric (3.23%) complications at 90 days. The differences did not reach statistical significance. This finding suggests that patients with PD do not experience higher rates of acute postoperative complications when undergoing 1-level cervical spine surgery.

Abstract
Idiopathic Parkinson's syndrome is associated with the loss of dopaminergic cells. It is defined by the presence of akinesia together with one of the cardinal symptoms: rigor, tremor, or postural instability. As the perioperative management of these patients can be challenging and they have an increased perioperative risk, every anaesthesiologist should know some special features. If a patient with Parkinson's disease does not receive the required amount of dopa, akinetic crisis may occur. Moreover, the administration of dopamine-antagonistic drugs can trigger a malignant neuroleptic syndrome. These are life-threatening clinical pictures that require intensive medical treatment. Therefore, patients with Parkinson's disease should be enabled to keep the period without the intake of the specific medication as short as possible. General anaesthesia should be performed with short acting anaesthetics and a regional anaesthesia might be beneficial. Besides, all dopamine antagonists sometimes used for prophylaxis or therapy of delirium or PONV (haloperidol, metoclopramide) are contraindicated. Alternatives are short-acting benzodiazepines, atypical neuroleptics and domperidone.

Abstract
Cognitive dysfunction is one of the most prevalent non-motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). While it tends to worsen in the later stages of disease, it can occur at any time, with 15-20% of patients exhibiting cognitive deficits at diagnosis (Aarsland et al., 2010; Goldman and Sieg, 2020). The characteristic features of cognitive dysfunction include impairment in executive function, visuospatial abilities, and attention, which vary in severity from subtle impairment to overt dementia (Martinez-Horta and Kulisevsky, 2019). To complicate matters, cognitive dysfunction is prone to fluctuate in PD patients, impacting diagnosis and the ability to assess progression and decision-making capacity. The diagnosis of cognitive impairment or dementia has a huge impact on patient independence, quality of life, life expectancy and caregiver burden (Corallo et al., 2017; Lawson et al., 2016; Leroi et al., 2012). It is therefore essential that physicians caring for patients with PD provide education, screening and treatment for this aspect of the disease. In this chapter, we provide a practical guide for the assessment and management of various degrees of cognitive dysfunction in patients with PD by approaching the disease at different stages. We address risk factors for cognitive dysfunction, prevention strategies prior to making the diagnosis, available tools for screening. Lastly, we review aspects of care, management and considerations, including decision-making capacity, that occur after the patient has been diagnosed with cognitive dysfunction or dementia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with neurologic disorders present a unique set of challenges for knee surgeons because of contractures, muscle weakness, spasticity, and ligament instability. The primary purpose of this review was to report the outcomes of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in these patients, including survivorship, complications, and surgical considerations. METHODS We performed a systematic review of articles using PubMed, Cochrane Central, EMBASE, and Google Scholar. All studies reporting outcomes of TKA in patients with Parkinson disease, multiple sclerosis, poliomyelitis, Charcot joint, spina bifida, stroke, and cerebral palsy were included. RESULTS In total 38 studies were included: 22 studies (461 patients) reported patient-reported outcome measures and 24 studies (510 patients) reported survivorship. All 38 studies reported complication rates. TKA resulted in an improvement in functional outcome in all series. Complication rate was higher in patients with neurologic conditions. Of studies reporting survivorship, mean follow-up ranged from 1 to 12 years with survivorship from 66% to 100%. All levels of implant constraint were reported without consensus. Limited rehabilitative data exist. CONCLUSION TKA in patients with neurologic disorders improves symptoms and function but carries significant risk. This review helps surgeons preoperatively counsel their patients in an informed manner. Careful planning, perioperative care, and appropriate implant selection may mitigate risk of complication.

Abstract
Background: Advances in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease (PD) have allowed for improvements in mortality and quality survival, making the management of comorbid conditions of aging, such as osteoarthritis, crucial. Objective: To determine the extent to which PD impacts hospitalization outcomes after an elective orthopedic procedure. Methods: This retrospective cohort study used data from the National Readmissions Database and included adults ages 40 and above with and without PD. Primary outcomes included length of stay of the index admission, discharge disposition and 30-day readmission. Logistic regression was used to compare the odds of readmission for PD patients compared to non-PD. Clinical conditions associated with readmission were compared between the two groups. Results: A total of 4,781 subjects with PD and 947,475 subjects without PD met inclusion criteria. Length of stay (LOS) during the index admission was longer for PD patients. PD patients were much more likely to be discharged to inpatient post-acute care (49.3% vs 26.2%) while non-PD subjects were more likely to be discharged home with (31.9% [PD] vs 44.8% [non-PD]) or without home health (18.7% [PD] vs 28.9% [non-PD]). A total of 271 PD patients (5.66%) and 28,079 non-PD patients (2.96%) were readmitted within 30 days following surgery. After adjusting for age, sex, socioeconomic status, expected payer, comorbidities, index admission LOS, year and discharge disposition, PD subjects were 31% more likely to be readmitted than non-PD subjects (AOR 1.31, 1.07–1.62). Conclusions: Parkinson’s disease patients were readmitted more often than non-PD patients, although the rate of readmission was still low.

Abstract
The scientific evidence to support the value of a range of non-pharmacological interventions for people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) is increasing. However, showing unequivocally that specific interventions are better than usual care is not straightforward because of generic drawbacks of clinical trials. Here, we address these challenges, specifically related to the context of evaluating complex non-pharmacological interventions for people with PD. Moreover, we discuss the potential merits of undertaking “real world” analyses using medical claims data. We illustrate this approach by discussing an interesting recent publication in The Lancet Neurology, which used such an approach to demonstrate the value of specialized physiotherapy for PD patients, over and above usual care physiotherapy.

Abstract
Management of patients with Parkinson disease (PD) during inpatient hospital stays is complex and poses unique challenges for physicians and ancillary staff. Patients with PD have a high risk of complications, encephalopathy, and prolonged hospital stay. Early recognition of complications and implementation of rehabilitation strategies along with appropriate management of medications are critical to improve outcomes. Patients with PD can exhibit worsening mobility and balance, insomnia, orthostatic hypotension, multiple neuropsychiatric symptoms, and gastrointestinal dysfunction while hospitalized. This review summarizes the specific in-hospital concerns observed in patients with PD and discusses potential treatment approaches.

Abstract
PURPOSE Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the short-term perioperative outcomes of PD patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We specifically evaluated: (1) perioperative surgical and medical complications; (2) lengths of stay (LOS); and (3) total hospital charges. METHODS The Nationwide Inpatient Sample was used to identify PD patients who underwent TKA between 2002 and 2013. To control for potential confounders, PD TKA and non-PD TKA patients were propensity score matched (1:3) based on age, sex, ethnicity, Charlson Comorbidity Index, and insurance type. A total of 31,979 PD and 95,596 non-PD TKA patients were included. RESULTS PD patients had a 44% higher risk of suffering from any complication (OR 1.44; 95% CI 1.35-1.54), a 45% increased risk for any medical complication (OR 1.45; 95% CI 1.36-1.55), and a 9% higher risk for any surgical complication (OR 1.09; 95% CI 0.84-1.41). Compared to the matched cohort, PD patients had a mean LOS that was 6.5% longer (95% CI 5.46-7.54) and mean total hospital charges that were 3.05% higher (95% CI 1.99-4.11). CONCLUSIONS PD patients are more likely to have postoperative complications, longer LOS, and higher costs after TKA than non-PD TKA patients. Since many of these complications can be prevented, a team-based multi-specialty patient optimization is needed. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, therapeutic study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increased complication rate has been reported in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients following total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, this has not previously been studied on a national scale. The purpose of this study was to determine whether PD patients had increased cost, complication, mortality, and length of stay following THA using a national database. METHODS The Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project Nationwide Inpatient Sample was evaluated for the years 2000-2014. PD patients were matched 1:3 with non-PD control patients for age, gender, Charlson Comorbidity Index, and year of admission using a propensity score matching procedure. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression were used to determine the relationship between PD and surgical outcomes in the matched cohort. RESULTS 794,689 THAs were performed from 2000-2014. 4003 patients (0.50%) had comorbid Parkinson's disease. Before matching, arthroplasty patients with PD were significantly older (P < .001), more frequently male (P < .001), and had greater Charlson Comorbidity Index (P < .001). In the matched cohort, PD was associated with increased length of stay (3.1 vs 2.7 days, P < .001), total hospital charges ($49,061 vs $45,571, P < .001), and in-hospital complication rate (14.6% vs 11.7%, P < .001). There was no difference in-hospital mortality (0.50% vs 0.47%, P = .781). CONCLUSIONS Matched cohort analysis demonstrated increases in complication rate, length, and cost of hospitalization for THA in patients with PD. However, in-hospital mortality rate in PD patients was not increased. Of note, the elevation in per-episode cost ($3490) may be of concern when considering PD patients for surgery within the evolving "bundled payment" model of care. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Prognostic- Level III.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between Parkinson's disease (PD) and stroke remains completely understood. AIM We aimed to investigate stroke risk and post-stroke outcomes in patients with PD. DESIGN The retrospective cohort study included 1303 patients aged ≥ 40 years with new-diagnosed PD and 5212 non-PD adults were selected by frequency matching with age and sex in 2000-05. Both two groups were followed up until the end of 2013. Another nested stroke cohort study of 17 678 patients with stroke hospitalization in 2002-09 was conducted to compare the admission outcome in patients with and without PD history. METHODS We collected patients' characteristics and medical conditions in the present two studies from claims data of Taiwan's National Health Insurance. Incidences and risks of stroke in people with and without PD during the follow-up period were calculated by adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) in the Cox proportional hazard model. Complications and mortality during the stroke admission associated with PD were analysed by calculating adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs in the logistic regressions. RESULTS Incidences of stroke for people with and without PD were 19.8 and 9.93 per 1000 person-years, respectively, with corresponding HR of 1.96 (95% CI 1.67-2.30). History of PD was associated with post-stroke gastrointestinal bleeding (OR 1.25, 95% CI 1.05-1.49), epilepsy (OR 1.64, 95% CI 1.32-2.04), pneumonia (OR 1.34, 95% CI 1.20-1.49), urinary tract infection (OR 1.33, 95% CI 1.21-1.45) and mortality (OR 1.35, 95% CI 1.13-1.62). CONCLUSION PD increases stroke risk and influences post-stroke outcomes.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort. OBJECTIVES Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative condition associated with significant morbidity and mortality. PD patients often develop spinal conditions and are known to have high complication rates following surgery. This study evaluated the outcomes of lumbar fusion surgery in patients with PD using a large, public, national database. METHODS The Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) was used to identify elective lumbar spinal fusion patients with and without PD for the years 2000 to 2012. PD patients were matched with non-PD controls for comorbidity and age using propensity score matching. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression were used to determine the relationship between PD and surgical outcomes in the matched cohort. RESULTS A total of 231 351 elective lumbar fusion patients were examined, of which 1332 had PD. Before matching, elective lumbar fusion patients with PD were significantly older (P < .001) and more likely male (P < .001) compared with non-PD patients. In the matched cohort, PD was associated with increased length of stay (6.91 vs 5.78 days) (P < .001) and total hospital charges ($129 212.40 vs $110 324.40) (P < .001). There was no significant difference in overall in-hospital complication rate between PD patients and matched non-PD patients (22.3% vs 21.4%) (P = .524). CONCLUSIONS Analysis demonstrated significant increases in length and cost of hospitalization for elective lumbar spinal fusion in patients with PD. However, inpatient complication rates in PD patients were not significantly increased. As a growing number of PD patients undergo elective spine surgery, further studies are needed to optimize operative planning. Further study is needed to assess the long-term outcomes of lumbar spinal fusion in PD.

Does Parkinson Disease Increase the Risk of Perioperative Complications After Total Hip Arthroplasty? A Nationwide Database Study. J Arthroplasty 2018; 33:S162-S166. [PMID: 29402715 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2018.01.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2017] [Revised: 12/19/2017] [Accepted: 01/04/2018] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Parkinson disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder in the United States, affecting over 1 million people. As part of the disease process, PD can cause poor bone quality and other musculoskeletal problems that can affect a patient's quality of life. With advances in treatment, PD patients can be more active and may be candidates for total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, there is a paucity of literature on the outcomes of THA in PD patients. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the perioperative outcomes of PD patients who underwent THA. Specifically, we assessed: (1) perioperative surgical and medical complications; (2) lengths of stay (LOSs); and (3) total hospital charges. METHODS Using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample, patients who had PD and underwent THA between 2002 and 2013 were identified. With the use of propensity scores, PD patients were matched in a 1:3 ratio to patients without PD by the year of surgery, age, gender, race, Charlson/Deyo score, and insurance type. This yielded a total of 10,519 PD and 31,679 non-PD THA patients. Regression analyses were used to compare the risk of perioperative complications (any, surgical, medical), the percent differences in mean LOS, and the percent differences in total hospital charges. RESULTS Compared with the matched cohort, PD patients had a 52% higher risk for any complication (odds ratio [OR] = 1.52; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.37-1.69), a 30% higher risk for any surgical complication (OR = 1.30; 95% CI: 0.88-1.91), and a 54% higher risk for any medical complication (OR = 1.54; 95% CI, 1.38-1.71). Specifically, PD patients were more likely to have postoperative delirium (OR = 2.61; 95% CI: 1.77-3.85), altered mental status (OR = 3.01; 95% CI: 1.35-6.71), urinary tract infection (OR = 1.34; 95% CI: 1.09-1.76), and blood transfusion (OR = 1.62; 95% CI: 1.44-1.82). Also, PD patients had a mean LOS that was 8.57% longer (P < .0001), and mean total hospital charges that were 3.85% higher (P < .0001). CONCLUSION Orthopedic surgeons and neurologists should be involved in the preoperative counseling of PD patients regarding their potential increased risks associated with THA, which could help optimize their preoperative care. Furthermore, the risk of complications and higher costs could potentially lead to the development of different reimbursement methods in this population of patients.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) were at higher risk of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF) compared to controls and had elevated mortality rates. Compared to conservative treatment, surgical treatment for OVCF in PD patients seemed to be associated with better outcomes. INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to evaluate the risk of OVCF in patients with PD. METHODS Data from patients over the age of 60 years who were diagnosed with PD were collected between 2004 and 2013 from the Korean National Health Insurance Database (n = 3370). The comparison group (non-PD) consisted of randomly selected patients (five per patient with PD; n = 16,850) matched to the PD group, who were newly diagnosed annually according to age and sex. Cox proportional hazard regressions were used to examine the relationships between osteoporosis, OVCF, surgery for OVCF, and PD. Household income and residential area of patients were also assessed. Overall survival rates were calculated after adjusting for confounding factors, such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and chronic kidney disease. RESULTS OVCF was developed in 12.5% of patients in the PD group and in 7.4% of patients in the control group. PD was associated with increased risk of osteoporosis (hazard ratio [HR], 1.32; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.21-1.43; p < 0.001), OVCF (HR 1.66; 95% CI, 1.47-1.87; p < 0.001), and surgery for OVCF (HR 2.69; 95% CI, 1.78-4.08; p < 0.001). Household income was not significantly related with development of osteoporosis, incidence of OVCF, or surgery for OVCF. Residential area was statistically associated with osteoporosis, OVCF, and surgery for OVCF. The mortality rate of the PD group was about 1.7 times higher than that of the non-PD group after adjusting for potential confounders, and the mortality rate of the PD with OVCF group was higher than that of the non-PD group, but not significantly (p = 0.09). The survival rate of the PD group with surgery for OVCF showed a trend toward a more positive prognosis compared with that of the PD group with conservative treatment. CONCLUSIONS Patients with PD had significantly increased risk of osteoporosis and OVCF. Surgical treatment for OVCF in PD patients was associated with a better prognosis than conservative treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Parkinson disease (PD) is a major risk factor during spine surgery, and its frequency is increasing as the population ages. The study aim was to examine the influence of PD specifically on lumbar decompression surgery. METHODS A retrospective review was performed of all patients with PD who underwent elective lumbar decompression surgery at 2 university hospital departments between December 2003 and July 2016. For each patient, 2 controls without PD were selected randomly among those who were matched for sex and age and had a similar year of surgery (±3) and comorbidity profile. The main outcomes were complications and reoperation rate. RESULTS The mean follow up was 1.2 ± 1.6 years in the PD group (n = 36) and 1.4 ± 2.1 years in the control group (n = 72). The overall complication rate was 47.2% in the PD group and 19.4% in the control group (P < 0.01). The reoperation rate was 27.8% in the PD group and 9.7% in the control group (P = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS There is a significantly greater rate of perioperative complications in patients with PD undergoing elective decompression surgery. Although the difference in major complication rates was minimal, minor complications were more frequent in patients with PD.

Abstract
In the course of Parkinson's disease (PD), oral medication may lose its effectiveness due to several reasons, like dysphagia, impaired absorption from the gastro-intestinal tract and delayed emptying of the stomach. If these problems occur, a non-oral therapy should be considered. Examples of non-oral therapies are transdermal patches, (e.g. rotigotine) which may overcome motor and nonmotor nighttime problems, and may serve as well to treat daytime response-fluctuations, if oral therapies fail to do so. Other options are injections with apomorphine to treat early morning dystonia and random off-periods during daytime, as well as continuously infused subcutaneous apomorphine for random fluctuations in PD patients. Low-dose apomorphine infusions also may be useful in the peri-operative phase, when PD patients may not be able to swallow oral medication. Finally, levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG) infusions or DBS have shown to be effective non-oral options to treat PD patients adequately, if they are not properly controlled by oral options.
