简介
Background
People with Parkinson's disease (PD) treated with deep brain stimulation (DBS) with non-rechargeable implantable pulse generators (IPGs) require elective IPG replacement operations involving surgical and anesthesiologic risk. Life expectancy and the number of replacements per patient with DBS are increasing.
Objective
To determine whether IPG longevity is influenced by stimulation parameters alone or whether there is an independent effect of the number of battery replacements and IPG model.
Methods
PD patients treated with bilateral subthalamic DBS were included if there was at least one IPG replacement due to battery end of life. Fifty-five patients had one or two IPG replacements and seven had three or four replacements, (80 Kinetra® and 23 Activa-PC®). We calculated longevity corrected for total electrical energy delivered (TEED) and tested for the effect of IPG model and number of …
