BackgroundThe consequences of demographic change are already noticeable in Saxony, the federal state with the highest average age in Germany and predominantly rural areas. In order to improve medical care for patients with Parkinson's disease (PwP), a status quo analysis of current care practice is required.ObjectiveTo what extent does the utilization of medical services by PwP differ a) between urban and rural areas in Saxony and b) between PwP with and without neurologist contact in the observation period from 2011 to 2019?Material and methodsThe cohort study was based on extensive routine data for Saxony from the health insurance company AOK PLUS from 2010 to 2019. A cohort of 15,744 PwP (n = 67,448 patient-years) was compared to a matched cohort (n = 674,480 patient-years; criteria: year of birth, gender, year of insurance, place of residence: urban/rural) without an ICD-10 coding of a movement disorder.ResultsOverall, there was a steady increase in the number of PwP in the dynamic cohort from 2011 (n = 6829) to 2019 (n = 8254). Urban-rural differences included a smaller proportion of patients being seen by a neurologist in rural areas. The PwP had a 3.5 to 4‑fold higher risk of dying compared to those in the comparison cohort. Changes in drug therapy for Parkinson's disease (i.e., increases in COMT and MAO inhibitors) and in remedy delivery (i.e., increases in occupational therapy and speech therapy) over the observation period were primarily seen in PwP who were seen by a neurologist.DiscussionThe study identified increased morbidity and mortality in PwP who are suitable targets for innovative care concepts. The increasing number of patients and the described differences document the need for this. At the same time, changes in prescription practice show that innovative forms of treatment are being used by neurologists in outpatient care.
