A recent study based in London sought to develop and validate a prediction model for diagnosis of PD based on presentations in primary care.1 Using data from over 8000 patients in UK primary care, they demonstrated that presentations independently and significantly associated with later diagnosis of PD were tremor, constipation, depression or anxiety, fatigue, dizziness, urinary dysfunction, balance problems, memory problems and cognitive decline, hypotension, rigidity, and hypersalivation. They developed a risk model for diagnosis of PD within 5 years following the first presentation … ER -
