This research aims to evaluate the changes in motor and quality-of-life outcomes for patients with advanced Parkinson's disease receiving continuous subcutaneous foslevodopa/foscarbidopa over one year.
Retrospective single-center observational study of 32 patients initiated on foslevodopa/foscarbidopa between April 2024 and January 2026.
Assessment of motor, non-motor, autonomic, quality-of-life, and sleep outcomes over a one-year period.
62.5% of patients completed one-year follow-up.
MDS-UPDRS Part III improved by 30.3%, Part IV by 36.0%, and Part II by 13.2%, all statistically significant.
Quality of life improved significantly (p=0.040), notably from reduced bodily discomfort. Levodopa-equivalent dose increased by 31.7%, while oral dopamine agonist use decreased from 70% to 25% (p=0.004).
