Accordingly, predicting the outcome might be challenging particularly in those who display an optimal response to the Levodopa challenge test.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title><jats:p>To determine which factors may contribute to poor outcome of STN\u2010DBS in PD.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We performed a retrospective analysis of consecutive PD patients treated with STN\u2010DBS. Motor and non\u2010motor variables were retrieved before surgery and at 1\u2010year follow\u2010up. Patients were divided into poor and good DBS responders by a cut\u2010off value of less than 20% improvement of UPDRS\u2010II in the OFF\u2010medication ON\u2010stimulation condition at 1 year.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Thirty\u2010two (26.2%) of 122 patients were categorised as poor responders. Before surgery, poor responders had significantly less impairment in activity of daily living and less severe motor severity. Response to levodopa challenge test was similar between poor and good responders. Significant worsening of axial symptoms at 1\u2010year follow\u2010up in the off\u2010medication off\u2010stimulation condition was found in poor responders. On multivariable linear regression analysis, only the relative change of activity of daily living by dopaminergic medications before surgery predicted its improvement by neurostimulation at 1\u2010year follow\u2010up.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Candidates for surgery with less impairment in activities of daily living may have less favourable outcomes after STN\u2010DBS, despite an optimal response during the pre\u2010operative Levodopa challenge. The worsening of axial symptoms due to disease progression might contribute to poorer outcomes, underscoring the need for better identification of these symptoms before surgery.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/ene.70342","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,8]],"date-time":"2025-09-08T12:00:09Z","timestamp":1757332809000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Identifying
