“Do I meet the criteria for dementia…Really, where am I headed?”: Perspective of people with Parkinson's Disease on the diagnosis, evaluation and management of cognitive disorders
Findings highlight the unique clinical experience of people with cognitive impairment in PD. We identified critical gaps in the diagnosis and management of cognitive symptoms in PD clinics and their implications for people living with PD and their care partners. These results will be used to provide a lived experience perspective to a larger program of research (PDCogniCare, ultimately to improve the quality of life of people with PD through improved standards of care.
