The impact of mild-to-moderate cortical cognitive deficits on post-operative outcomes in deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s disease: Considerations for patient selection
Mild to moderate cognitive impairments in memory and language do not significantly affect post-surgical outcomes. Our preliminary findings warrant further confirmation with larger sample sizes and long-term follow-up when assessing DBS candidacy in those with pre-surgical cognitive deficits. Comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations can assist in proper risk stratification and informed patient selection.
