DBS-related infections in Parkinson's disease: Incidence, risk factors, management and outcome
We found low incidence of DBS-related infections following primary DBS implantation or IPG replacement in PD patients, depending on PD duration. Our study highlights that patient-specific and multidisciplinary management in expert center resulted in good outcome and high rates of reimplantation following primary implantation-related infection, whereas PD patients with IPG replacement-associated infection had more severe outcome and challenging management.
