The treatment gap for deep brain stimulation in Parkinson’s disease: a comparative analysis of cost and utilisation in high-income countries

Better access to effective PD treatments such as DBS is critical given the increasing prevalence of PD in an ageing world and the associated, avoidable morbidity.
