%X The Parkinson’s disease (PD) home diary is frequently used in clinical trials to measure efficacy of medical treatments for motor fluctuations in advanced PD. This prospective study in fluctuating PD patients examines the validity of the diary for quantification of motor states in comparison to direct clinical observation. 51 patients (median age: 65 years, disease duration: 11 years) completed the diary half-hourly for two consecutive days and were simultaneously rated by an experienced observer, who independently evaluated motor states half-hourly throughout daytime. Overall agreement (Cohen’s kappa) between patient and observer diary entries was 59.8
