N2 - Introduction: Early, simple predictors for long-term survival in Parkinson’s disease (PD) may help identify patients at elevated risk and are crucial for more personalized treatment. Methods: This large, retrospective study examined whether higher levodopa equivalent daily dose (LEDD) a year after diagnosis predicts long-term survival. Results: Mortality risk was increased among 292 patients receiving ≥ 600 mg LEDD versus 2233 patients receiving < 600 mg LEDD (hazard ratio 1.5; 95% confidence interval 1.3–1.7), particularly among patients aged < 75 years (1.8; 1.4–2.4). Conclusion: In PD, higher LEDD can be an early risk marker of increased mortality, probably because it reflects more severe disease.
