Hospitalización en los pacientes con enfermedad de parkinson

Abstract

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic, progressive neurodegenerative disorder. It is the third leading cause of disability in individuals over 80 years old and the fifth in those over 60. The incidence and prevalence of Parkinson's disease have significantly increased worldwide from 1990 to 2021. All patients with PD have a significant risk of requiring hospitalizations that demand greater complexity in managing comorbidities, complications, and/or intercurrent conditions. The aim of this brief review is to update the management of patients with PD during hospitalization.
