title: [Parkinson's disease. Retrospective study of 302 clinical case records].
abstract: This retrospective study of the case-records of 302 patients with Parkinson's disease shows that the condition begins earlier in males and that loss of weight during the first years of the disease is of poor prognosis. It also provides some arguments in favour of low-dosage L-dopa and suggests that no time should be wasted in administering this treatment.
