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.
