*NEW PUBLICATION FROM C-OPN* Advancing Parkinson’s Disease Research in Canada: The Canadian Open Parkinson Network (C-OPN) Cohort

  • On October 29, 2024

The Canadian Open Parkinson Network published their first research paper describing the Parkinson’s disease cohort of participants in the Journal of Parkinson’s Disease. This is a major milestone for C-OPN and the Canadian Parkinson’s disease research community, with the Parkinson’s disease cohort representing the largest of its kind in Canada. The paper depicts a snapshot of over 1500 people living with Parkinson’s in Canada, including information about age at diagnosis, first and current symptoms, medical history, medications prescribed, and so much more. The C-OPN cohort offers a unique perspective into living with Parkinson’s disease in Canada, as it allows for comparison between provinces, something that is described in this paper. The paper is available via Open Access through the Journal of Parkinson’s Disease, to read more click here.
