It is increasingly recognized that Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a clinically heterogeneous disease, with wide variation in presence and severity of motor and non-motor symptoms and disease course. Overall, PD is associated with an increased mortality rate compared with the general population, but survival after disease onset differs considerably across patients. One might hypothesize that certain subgroups of PD patients have a worse prognosis in terms of mortality risk than others.
