Prognostic Significance of the Onset Mode in Parkinsonism Neurol 43:829-830, Rajput,A.H.,et al, 1993 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Early recognition of the prognosis in parkinsonism is important for both the management and studies aimed at preventing progression of disease.Less favorable prognosis is reported in early-onset postural instability and gait difficulty(PIGD)than in the tremor-onset cases,but the reasons for this are unknown.In 70 autopsy-verified cases,11(15.7%)had PIGD,and 34 (49%)had tremor onset.Improvement on levodopa was more common in the tremor than the PIGD-onset cases(p<0.05).The majority of tremor-onset cases had Lewy body disease,while the majority of PIGD-onset cases had other forms of pathology.Survival was shorter in the PIGD than the tremor- onset cases(p<0.05).
