A noninterventional study evaluating the effectiveness of rotigotine and levodopa combination therapy in younger versus older patients with Parkinson's disease.
CONCLUSIONS: Despite low rotigotine doses, when added to levodopa/switched from levodopa+another DA, rotigotine led to greater improvement in UPDRS-II in younger patients (<70 years). Individual patient data revealed clinically meaningful improvements in UPDRS-II in both groups.
