abstract = {This study evaluates the impact of Parkinson disease (PD)
medication in advanced PD on neuropsychological performance,
psychiatric symptoms, impulsivity and the quality of life.
In the 4-year period 27 patients with advanced PD, scheduled
for deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery (N=27, mean age:
58.9±7.1, disease duration: 10.0 years±4.2) were examined
preoperatively. We hypothesized that a high dosage of PD
medication or current use of dopamine agonists affect
cognitive functioning and psychiatric wellbeing.We performed
two subgroup analyses with low versus high
levodopa-equivalent Dosage (LED) medication and without
versus with dopaminagonistic medication.The
neuropsychological testing revealed significant differences
in the verbal learn- and memory-test (VLMT) during the
learning passage (U=36.500, Z=- 2.475, p=0.012) and in the
subtest of the semantic fluency of Regensburg verbal fluency
test (RWT) (t(25)=- 2.066, p=0.049) with better results for
patients without dopaminagonistic medication. Pearson
correlation analyses of LED in correlation with the clinical
and cognitive dependent variables showed a significant
higher PANSS total score in patients with higher LED
medication (r=0.491, p=0.009). In addition, lower LED
treatment was associated with significant higher scores in
the impulsivity perseverance subtest (r=- 0.509, p=0.008).In
conclusion, we found lower LEDs to be correlated with a
better perseverance in the impulsivity test and additional
treatment with a dopamine agonist influenced some verbal
learning tasks and the PANSS total score in patients with
advanced PD. This should be considered prior to DBS
surgery.},
