There is compelling evidence for short\u2010term use of this treatment; however, long\u2010term data are scarce.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods:\u2002<\/jats:bold> A retrospective review of medical records was performed. The primary objective was to assess the duration of treatment for all Swedish patients starting long\u2010term levodopa\/carbidopa gel therapy between January 1991 and June 2008. Secondary aims were to study demographics, treatment with anti\u2010Parkinson\u2019s disease drugs and other concomitant medications, and reasons for discontinuation of levodopa\/carbidopa gel.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:\u2002<\/jats:bold> Of 150 identified patients, 135 were included in the study. On average, patients were 49\u2003years at diagnosis of Parkinson\u2019s disease and 63\u2003years when infusion therapy was initiated. The median treatment time on infusion was 3.4\u2003years (range, 0\u201316\u2003years). The restricted mean treatment time was nearly 8\u2003years; 81 patients were still on treatment at the end of the study. Levodopa was used as monotherapy in a majority of patients. Dosage of the drug was stable over time. Thirty\u2010one patients discontinued infusion prior to the cutoff date and 23 patients died. Device\u2010related problems were the most common reason for discontinuation. Patients were more likely to discontinue infusion therapy before 2000. The year of infusion initiation was significantly earlier in the dropout group compared with a matched group of continuing patients.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions:\u2002<\/jats:bold> Levodopa\/carbidopa intestinal gel infusion is a long\u2010term treatment alternative in patients with advanced Parkinson\u2019s disease.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1468-1331.2012.03679.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,2,23]],"date-time":"2012-02-23T13:13:50Z","timestamp":1330002830000},"page":"1079-1085","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":78,"title":["Levodopa\/carbidopa intestinal gel infusion long\u2010term therapy in advanced Parkinson\u2019s disease"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"D.","family":"Nyholm","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"K.","family":"Klangemo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"Johansson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,2,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mds.23219"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1474-4422(09)70291-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2165\/00003088-200645020-00001"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.wnf.0000144041.28224.b7"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1185\/03007995.2011.560146"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00002826-200305000-00010"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1212\/01.WNL.0000149637.70961.4C"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mds.22450"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mds.22596"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mds.23342"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/WNF.0b013e3180ed449f"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.18637\/jss.v042.i07"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mds.21956"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF03256150"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0404.2008.01104.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.parkreldis.2006.12.013"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_18_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1212\/01.wnl.0000183146.78892.3f"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_19_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1212\/01.WNL.0000137886.74175.5A"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_20_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.0b013e3181fd6158"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_21_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.parkreldis.2006.02.006"}],"container-title":["European Journal of Neurology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1111%2Fj.1468-1331.2012.03679.x","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/j.1468-1331.2012.03679.x","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,30]],"date-time":"2023-10-30T05:22:05Z","timestamp":1698643325000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/j.1468-1331.2012.03679.x"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2012,2,23]]},"references-count":20,"journal-issue":{"issue":"8","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2012,8]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/j.1468-1331.2012.03679.x"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/j.1468-1331.2012.03679.x","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1351-5101","1468-1331"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1351-5101","type":"print"},{"value":"1468-1331","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2012,2,23]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2012-02-23","order":2,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
