Older persons with PD have different care needs compared to a younger person with PD. |
We do not have enough evidence-based medicine to identify what those specific care needs are; there is a big scope for future studies in this clinical domain. |
There is an increasing amount of evidence advocating the need for monotherapy with L-Dopa in the very frail elderly cohort of people with PD. Whether this is the best approach, we need more studies. |
Cognitive impairment plays an important role in deciding which medication should be prescribed in an older person with PD. |
