Ethnic and Gender Disparities in Access to Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery for Parkinson's Disease
Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.Abstract Background Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an established treatment for Parkinson's disease (PD) in appropriately selected patients. DBS may be underused in certain patient populations, especially women and racialized groups. Barriers and biases to receiving DBS that could account for underuse among these groups are not well studied in Canada.
