Predictive Factors for Favorable Outcome from Subthalamic Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation in Parkinson's Disease.

CONCLUSION: Our results confirm that patients with better levodopa response have better outcomes. Interestingly, patients with worse bradykinesia had a better surgical outcome. A favorable surgical outcome was less frequent in patients with low vB12 levels and was not statistically significant. PMID: 31192443 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
