Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main endpoint in this study is the response to STN DBS as measured by an acute stimulation challenge performed 12 months after surgery, defined as the percentage change of MDS-UPDRS motor score after overnight medication withdrawal between *off*-stimulation and *on*-stimulation. We will compare the accuracy of the three models (described under Objectives) in predicting this primary endpoint. In all models the effect of pertinent covariates and variability between centres will be taken into account. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - the occurrence of psychotic symptoms in the 72 hours following surgery, as measured by a score >=3 on the delirium observation scale (DOS). - the change in quality of life after surgery, the *Global satisfaction with surgery* scale and the number of contacts (outpatient visits, telephone calls, emails) with the hospital team (neurologists, parkinson nurses) in the first year. - the SENS-PD score and MDS-UPDRS motor score. - the cognitive decline 12 months after surgery, as defined by either a) the transition to mild cognitive impairment or PD-related dementia diagnosed according to criteria proposed by the Movement Disorders Society, or b) a reduction in MoCA score >3 points. | — |
