Parkinson’s disease is one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders. It is estimated to affect up to 160 per 100,000 of the general population with an annual incidence of 15–20 per 100,000. Many population studies have shown the rising prevalence with age (up to 2% of the population aged 80 and over). Around 1 in 7 cases are diagnosed below the age of 60 years. The costs of treatment have been estimated at between £560,000 and £1.6 million per 100,000 of the population.
In USA a 3-year prospective study of the economic cost of PD was performed in 2006. The average annual cost per patient was estimated at $12,091, out of which 55.9% accounted for direct costs. Drugs took up the major share of direct costs, $5,763 per year. Indirect costs accounted for $4,851 per patient per year. Within this, 76% of the costs were related to nursing care and the loss of productivity.
