TI  - Deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease: prevalence of adverse events and 
      need for standardized reporting.
PG  - 343-9
AB  - Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has assumed a prominent role in the treatment of 
      Parkinson's disease (PD). In this manuscript, we attempt to estimate the 
      prevalence and categorize adverse events (AEs) of DBS in PD, based on efficacy 
      studies published over the last decade. We conclude that reliable categorization 
      and quantification of AEs based on available data poses many challenges and argue 
      that a standardized scheme for reporting AEs should be created. This would 
      provide a foundation for a meaningful risk/benefit analysis, for comparison of 
      results between centers and, ultimately, for a well informed decision by 
      physicians and patients as to whether surgery should be pursued.
