Toxin Induced Parkinsonism and Hospitalization Related Adverse Outcome Mitigation for Parkinson's Disease: A Comprehensive Review

Kenneth R Dalton et al. J Clin Med. .

Abstract

Patients with Parkinson's disease admitted to the hospital have unique presentations. This unique subset of patients requires a multidisciplinary approach with a knowledge-based care team that can demonstrate awareness of complications specific to Parkinson's disease to reduce critical care admissions, morbidity, and mortality. Early recognition of toxic exposures, medication withdrawals, or medication-induced symptoms can reduce morbidity and mortality. This review can assist in the critical assessment of new or exacerbating Parkinson's disease symptoms.

Keywords: Parkinsonism; Parkinson’s disease; neurologic emergencies; pearls; toxins.
