Medium-term Prognosis of Parkinson's Incident Cohort and Their Carers

This study aims to establish the medium-term prognosis of Parkinson's disease (PD) and other parkinsonism conditions, including survival, disability, motor progression, quality of life, and complications. It will compare these aspects with a control group and identify factors that predict worse outcomes in PD. Additionally, it will document the prognosis of carers in terms of quality of life, burden of care, and mood.

  1. Medium-term prognosis of an incident cohort of people with Parkinson’s and their carers vs a community-based control group Carl Counsell Clinical Reader & Hon Consultant in Neurology Chronic Disease Research Group Division of Applied Health Sciences

  2. Overview • Aims of current grant • Brief overview of PINE • Results • Implications / impact on patients and carers • Future plans

  3. Aims of the grant • establish the medium-term prognosis of PD + other park: • survival, disability, motor progression, quality of life, motor and non-motor complications. • compare some of these aspects of prognosis with an age-gender matched control group. • identify factors that predict worse outcome in PD • document the prognosis of carers with regards to quality of life, burden of care, and mood.

  4. PINE Study Methods 1: Incidence period / population: Pilot: 18 months Nov 2002 – April 2004 (149,000 in 18 GPs) Main: 36 months April 2006 – March 2009 (317,000 in 37 GPs) Ascertainment: • Referrals from GPs • Referrals from hospital consultants • Hand-searching referral letters (neurology & DOME) • Electronic searching (GP, hospital discharge data) • Screening over 65 and over 75’s Inclusion Criteria • Parkinsonism ( 2 of tremor, bradykinesia, rigidity, instability) • First suspicion during incident period • Not drug-induced

  5. Methods 2: assessments Baseline assessment 1: ? eligible • standard history and examination including motor UPDRS • clinical diagnosis If eligible  given study info & offered consent (a) None (b) Notes review (c) Survival (d) Full Baseline assessment 2: • Risk factors • Complete UPDRS and timed tests • Cognitive function (MMSE, MMP) • Disability (Schwab & England, Barthel ADL index) • Quality of life (Euroquol, PDQ-39) • Mood (GDS-15)

  6. Methods 3: carers and controls Carers • Each patient was asked to nominate a carer • Regular assessment of the carer’s own QoL, mood and carer burden (as well as proxy assessment of the patient’s QoL and disability) Controls • Matched for general practice, age and sex • Undergo the same assessments as the patients

  7. Methods 4: follow-up All patients were invited to undergo long-term follow-up: • Notes based • Survival tagging • Yearly assessment (at home if reqd) • Interim assessments as required At each contact, the diagnosis is reviewed Discuss issue of PM / brain donation if appropriate Carers and controls also undergo annual follow-up

  8. Patient Results (as of 31/3/13, all 3 yrs FU, median 5 yrs FU) • Baseline characteristics • Survival vs controls • Disease progression vs controls • institutionalisation • dementia • dead or dependent • motor function, quality of life, mental health • Motor complications • Predictors of survival and independent survival in PD

  9. Study Flow chart: latest diagnosis 377 patients 266 controls Withdrew 4 (1.5%) Parkinsonian 2 No consent 2 No consent 16 (4%) 361 pts Parkinson’s disease 203 (56%) Dementia with lewy bodies 43 (12%) Parkinson’s plus 43 (12%) Vascular park 39 (11%) Non-eligible 33 (9%) 262 controls Lost to follow-up n=3

  10. Baseline characteristics

  11. Baseline characteristics

  12. Patient survival by diagnosis PD vs control adjusted HR 2.0 (95% CI 1.3, 3.1)

  13. PD patient survival by age

  14. Institutionalisation by diagnosis

  15. Dementia in PD vs controls PD vs control adjusted HR 6.4 (95% CI 3.1, 13.5)

  16. Death or dependency by diagnosis At 3 yrs: PD vs control adjusted OR = 2.3 (95% CI 1.2, 4.4)

  17. Motor function in PD survivors vs controls Slight worsening over 3 yrs but no different from controls

  18. GDS-15 in PD survivors vs controls Greater deterioration in PD patients vs controls over 3 yrs

  19. MMSE in PD survivors vs controls Greater deterioration in PD patients vs controls over 3 yrs

  20. EQ-5D in PD survivors vs controls

  21. PDQ-39 in PD survivors

  22. Motor complications Motor fluctuations Dyskinesias

  23. Predictors of poor outcomes in PD patients • Greater likelihood of death • older age, ever smoked, no tremor, [Rx in 1st yr ?] • NOT gender, Depcat, living alone, vascular disease, baseline GDS/motor UPDRS/MMSE/H-Y • Greater likelihood of death or dependency at 3 yrs • baseline disability (S&E) or UPDRS • NOT age, gender, Depcat, living alone, smoking, vascular disease, tremor, baseline GDS/MMSE/H-Y • Greater likelihood of dementia • older age, baseline cognitive function, lack of tremor

  24. Carers in the PINE study: Aims • describe the impact (burden) of caring for someone with Parkinson’s over time • identify factors (patient and carer) that predict carerprognosis

  25. Annual carer assessments Update on any health problems Current medication Employment status/hours per week Any care/help given to patient (hours per day) and for how long Carer’s quality of life and health state (Euroquol-5D & VAS) Mood (GDS15) Impact of caring (Crossroads ABC scale)

  26. Baseline carer characteristics 1

  27. Change in time spent caring

  28. EQ5D Utility score over time

  29. EQ5D VAS over time

  30. GDS15 over time

  31. CROSSROADS ABC SCALE Measures carer strain/burden “Living with or caring for someone with a condition like Parkinson’s may cause stress or disruption to your life” 13 items

  32. Carer burden-”not at all” at 3 years

  33. Predictors of burden at baseline

  34. Carer burden over time

  35. Benefits to people with PD? Better understanding of prognosis → better treatment of patients and carers Higher level of death and dependency than previously thought esp atypical park and older onset PD despite best medical Rx Slight decline in non-motor aspects of disease over first 3yrs Carer outcomes relatively stable over 3 yrs Need for allied health input (?) and care (resources) Maximise QoL early in elderly

  36. Future plans for PINE study • Further follow-up of cohort (funded to Feb 2016) • Further analysis • Systematic reviews of prognosis • Prognostic modelling • Importance of co-morbidity • Carer/proxy outcomes • Collaborative data pooling project
