文摘

The study population was 737 emergency admissions of PD patients. 39% of l-dopa doses were omitted or delayed more than 30 min. Delays to l-dopa administration in hospital do not prolong length of stay. The number of co-morbidities is positively correlated with length of stay. Weekends do not affect delays to dopaminergic medication administration.
