Neurologists prescribed 29%of initial therapy. While a patient being younger and seeing a movement disorder specialist predicted receiving dopamine agonists, only 20%of patients younger than age 65 years received dopamine agonists. Initial pharmacotherapy is strongly influenced by the provider’s specialty but mostly initiated by providers without PD expertise.展开更多
