California Parkinson's Disease Registry Pilot Project - Southern California Ascertainment

Abstract

The primary goal of this proposal is to conduct a pilot study for the legally mandated statewide population-based PD registry. This is one of two linked proposals, submitted by the University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA) and the Parkinson's Institute. For this proposal by UCLA, the work funded is being conducted in Kern, Tulare and Fresno counties. Thus far a total of 2,741 PD cases in these three counties have been identified from legally mandated sources (health care institutions, physicians and other providers). A secure prototype database has been established. Exploratory investigations will be conducted on the association between PD and toxicant chemical exposure by linking to a database of toxicant chemicals established previously by UCLA based on California state data (e.g. the pesticide use databases). Differences in patterns of PD care will be assessed among groups defined by age, gender, place of residence and, as possible, socioeconomic status and race/ethnicity.
