Event Description

Summary: background: long-term efficacy of deep brain stimulation (dbs) on health-related quality-of-life (hrqol) for isolated dystonia is not well established.This study aims to determine the long-term impact of dbs on hrqol outcomes and identify clinical predictors.Methods: we retrospectively investigated 16 inherited or idiopathic isolated dystonia patients treated with bilateral globus pallidus internus dbs who were followed beyond 9 years at our center.The cohort consisted of 9 males, 7 females; 10 generalized, 6 segmental; mean (range) age at implantation, 37.0 (8¿67) years; mean follow-up duration after implantation, 10.9 (9¿13) years.We employed the unified dystonia rating scale for motor and short form health survey for hrqol assessments to monitor the change longitudinally.We analyzed the changes in motor and hrqol at 1¿2 years (short-term) and =9 years (long-term) follow-up as compared to baseline with a wilcoxon signed-rank test.We assessed the factors that predicted motor and hrqol improvement with univariate regression analyses.Results: motor (41.6%; p=0.004) and hrqol (total score, p=0.039) improvements remained significant at long-term follow-up and, in the regression analysis, change in hrqol outcomes correlated significantly with change in motor outcomes (r2=0.384, p=0.010).Additionally, short-term motor and hrqol improvements predicted the long-term motor (r2=0.384, p=0.010) and hrqol (total score, r2=0.594, p < 0.001) outcomes, respectively.Conclusion: motor and hrqol improvements with dbs in isolated dystonia remain sustained for nearlya decade and may largely be predictable by the short-term response to dbs.Reported events: patient 15: a (b)(6)-year-old patient with bilateral gpi-dbs for dystonia experienced migration of the left lead 8 years after implant, which the authors reported was possibly due to growth.3 patients with dbs for dystonia experienced an unspecified ¿stimulator malfunction.¿ 3 patients with dbs for dystonia experienced electrode breakage.2 patients with dbs for dystonia experienced an extension cable fracture.The authors reported that patients received 3387 leads and either activa pc/ sc 37601-37603 or soletra 7426 neurostimulators.It was not possible to ascertain any additional specific device information from the article or to match the reported event with any previously reported event.
