Study summary

This is a study to see whether participation in the Edmond J. Safra Interdisciplinary Home Visit Program for Advanced Parkinson's (HVP) increases the rate of age-appropriate vaccinations in people with advanced Parkinson's Disease (PD) and related disorders. This study will evaluate the impact of the HVP on the rate of common illnesses such as flu and pneumonia in patients with advanced PD and related disorders over the course of one year.

As there is currently no data available on the baseline rate of vaccinations in either homebound or less disabled PD populations, investigators will seek to establish the baseline rate of vaccinations, barriers to getting vaccinated, and baseline healthcare utilization in these populations by piloting (Phase 1) and then implementing (Phase 2) a survey via telephone interviews. Investigators will then test feasibility of offering influenza and pneumococcal vaccinations, as appropriate, to the homebound individuals in our HVP cohort (Phase 3), and will compare their pre- and post-intervention rates of both outpatient and acute healthcare utilization and self-reported illness.

    The study team will also contact the subject by phone within one week of each vaccination visit to assess for any adverse effects related to vaccination, included but not limited to: injection site pain, tenderness, swelling, pruritus, induration, or erythema; systemic symptoms such as fatigue, chills, headache, anorexia, malaise, myalgias, or anaphylaxis. Subjects will be contacted 90 days (+ 14 days) following Visit 3 to inquire about any additional symptoms and healthcare utilization.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS)

    A rating scale used to follow the longitudinal course of Parkinson's disease

    Time frame: 30 Minutes

  2. Hoehn and Yahr Scale (HY)

    A system used for describing how Parkinson's symptoms progress and the relative level of disability. There are five stages: Stage 0 - No signs of disease; Stage 1 - Unilateral disease; Stage 1.5 - Unilateral plus axial involvement; Stage 2 - Bilateral disease, without impairment of balance; Stage 2.5 - Mild bilateral disease with recovery on pull test; Stage 3 - Mild to moderate bilateral disease; some postural instability; physically independent; Stage 4 - Severe disability; still able to walk or stand unassisted; Stage 5 - Wheelchair bound or bedridden unless aided.

    Time frame: 30 Minutes

  3. Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire- Short Form (PDQ-8

    A validated, brief, 8-item measure of quality of life in PD with a summary index score standardized to a scale of 0-100, with higher scores signifying worse quality of life; this scale is recommended for use in PD by the Movement Disorder Society.10

    Time frame: 30 Minutes
