The effect of functional status impairment on nursing home admission risk among patients with advanced Parkinson's disease.

Conclusions: Patients with APD experience a higher risk in NHA than those with non-advanced disease. This increased risk in NHA in patients with APD is explained by greater limitations in FS. The relative reduction in risk of NHA for the APD population treated with LCIG is quantitatively similar to doubling Medicaid home care services. PMID: 31779508 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
