Query: Persistent racial disparities in deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease We sought to determine whether racial and socio-economic disparities in the utilization of deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinsons disease (PD) have improved over time. We examined DBS utilization and analyzed factors associated with placement of DBS. The odds of DBS placement increased across the study period while White PD patients were 5 times more likely than Black patients to undergo DBS. Individuals, regardless of racial background, with two or more comorbidities were 14 times less likely to undergo DBS. Privately insured patients were 1.6 times more likely to undergo DBS. Despite increasing DBS utilization, significant disparities persist in access to DBS.
