Diagnostic uncertainty in Parkinson's disease: New study calls for improved diagnostic processes
A new study by the University of Turku and Turku University Hospital, Finland, found that a significant proportion of Parkinson's disease diagnoses are later corrected. Up to one in six diagnoses changed after 10 years of ...
