The goal of this observational study is to investigate the causes of hospitalisation via emergency services in patients with degenerative parkinsonian syndromes. All causes of hospital admission through the emergency department among patients with Parkinson's-related disorders were analysed in order to understand their vulnerability and the factors that worsen their health status. Data from included patients were compared to those of age-matched individuals without Parkinson's disease.
