ObjectivesUK guidelines recommend palliative care access for people with Parkinson’s disease; however, this remains sporadic, and it is unknown whether specialist palliative care helps patients and carers cope with this distressing condition. This study aimed to explore whether, and how, access to specialist palliative care services affected patients’ and carers’ coping with Parkinson’s disease.MethodsSemistructured interviews were conducted, audio-recorded and verbatim transcribed. Data were analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. Participants were patients with advanced idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (n=3), and carers of people with Parkinson’s disease (n=5, however, one diagnosis was reviewed) receiving care from an integrated specialist palliative care and Parkinson’s disease service in North East England.ResultsAccess to specialist palliative care helped participants cope with some aspects of advanced Parkinson’s disease. Three superordinate themes were developed:‘ managing uncertainty’, ‘impacts on the self’ and ‘specialist palliative care maintaining a positive outlook’.ConclusionsSpecialist palliative care helped patients and carers cope with advanced Parkinson’s disease. Specialist palliative care is a complex intervention that acknowledges the complex and holistic nature of Parkinson’s disease, enabling health in some domains despite continued presence of pathology. These exploratory findings support the utility of this approach for people living with Parkinson’s disease.

Introduction: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disease in the world. Its incidence increases with advancing age. Therefore, in Brazil, a country in transition of age structure, it is relevant to assess the progression of hospitalizations and hospital costs for PD over the years. Objective: Describe the progression of hospitalizations and hospital costs for PD in Brazilian’s public health system, SUS, between 2008-2020. Design and setting: Descriptive ecological observational study made in Brazil, Salvador – BA. Methods: Data from hospitalization and hospital costs were collected from DATASUS in the 5 Brazilian regions. Statistical analysis was based on measures of dispersion and central tendency. Results: Between 2008-2020, 11,565 admissions for PD were notified. The highest numbers of hospitalizations corresponded to the Southeast region (annual average = 370.1), while the smallest to the North region (annual average = 28.4). Regarding the high expenses resulting from hospitalizations, it was observed that the Southeast obtained higher costs with hospital services (annual average = 1,417,716.8), while the North had the lowest (annual average = 18,611.01). Conclusion: Southeast region stood out for having the highest numbers in costs and hospitalizations, the opposite of what happened in North. Brazilian regional disparities, especially regarding to demographic density, HDI, socioeconomic development and access to health care, may explain these demographically uneven.

The cause of Parkinson’s disease (PD) remains elusive, but environmental chemical exposures have been postulated to be involved in the etiology of PD. We examined the association between the persistent organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and PD in the North Indian population. This case control study included 70 PD and 75 control subjects in the age group of 50 to 85 years. Blood samples were collected and high-purity grade hexane and acetone (2 : 1 ratio) were used for extraction of organochlorine residues. OCPs (hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH), aldrin, dieldrin, endosulfan, pp′-Dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (pp′-DDE), op′-DDE, pp′- Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (pp′-DDT), op′-DDT, pp′-dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane (pp′-DDD) and op′-DDD) were quantitatively estimated by using gas chromatography. The most frequently detected OCP was dieldrin, which was present in 9.3% of control and 61.4% of PD. The strongest predictor was β-hexachlorocyclohexane (β-HCH), which reported an odds ratio of 2.566, indicating that for every additional one unit of β-HCH, patients had 2.566 times more chances of presence of PD. This study indicates that increased level of β-HCH and dieldrin may be associated with the risk of PD.
