Abstract

Objectives
To develop a prognostic model to predict mortality in Parkinson's disease (PD).

Background
Prognostic models can be used for individual prediction, case-mix correction, and clinical trial design. No prognostic model has been published for use in PD.

Methods
The PINE study (198 patients) and ParkWest study (192 patients) are community-based, incidence cohorts of PD with lifelong prospective follow-up in North-East Scotland and Western Norway, respectively. In each study area, all incident cases were identified with community-based ascertainment strategies (2004–6 and 2006–9 in PINE; 2004–7 in ParkWest). Clinical predictors measured at diagnosis in the PINE cohort were combined to create a prognostic model of mortality using Weibull regression. It was externally validated by measuring calibration (observed versus predicted risk in quantiles of risk) and discrimination in the ParkWest cohort.
