%X BackgroundThe availability of deep brain stimulation (DBS), a highly efficacious treatment for several movement disorders, remains low in developing countries, with scarce data available on utilization and outcomes.ObjectiveWe characterized the DBS cohort and outcomes at a Malaysian quaternary medical center.MethodsA retrospective chart review was done on DBS-related surgery at the University of Malaya, including clinico-demographic, genetics, and outcomes data focusing on post-operative medication reduction and complications.Results149 Parkinson's disease (PD) patients underwent DBS targeting the subthalamic nucleus. Six had globus pallidus internus DBS (primarily for dystonia). Only 16.1
