Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders. There is no epidemiological description of PD in Chile and not many descriptions in Latin America. This study aims to describe the incidence and prevalence of PD in Chile.
The study group was the population on the public health system in Chile between 2010 and 2018 that were registered in the GES system as having PD. Crude and standardized prevalence and incidence were calculated with a 95% confidence interval.
33,345 patients were found in the register as confirmed cases with PD. The crude incidence in 2018 was 23.7/100,000; the crude prevalence in 2018 was 160.7/100,000. The male-to-female ratio was 1.03.
The prevalence and incidence observed in the Chilean population are consistent with studies from other countries.
帕金森病(PD)是最常见的神经退行性疾病之一。智利没有 PD 的流行病学描述,在拉丁美洲也没有很多描述。本研究旨在描述智利 PD 的发病率和患病率。
研究组为 2010 年至 2018 年期间智利公共卫生系统中的人群,这些人群在 GES 系统中被登记为患有 PD。用 95%置信区间计算了粗患病率和粗发病率。
在登记册中发现了 33345 例确诊为 PD 的患者。2018 年的粗发病率为 23.7/100,000;2018 年的粗患病率为 160.7/100,000。男女比例为 1.03。
智利人群中观察到的患病率和发病率与其他国家的研究一致。
