N2 - Introduction: Intermittent oral delivery of levodopa is a major contributing factor for motor complications in Parkinson's disease (PD). Continuous infusion of levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG) into the jejunum using a portable pump via percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) improves motor complications and quality of life (QoL). Objectives: To record long-term effectiveness of advanced PD patients undergoing LCIG infusion in routine care, by Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), Non-Motor Symptoms Scale (NMSS), PDQ-8 and EQ-5D questionnaires. Methods: Overall, 375 patients from 75 movement disorder centers in 18 countries were enrolled in this prospective non-interventional study. The 12-month interim outcomes of the first 172 included patients are presented here. Results: There were reductions of mean daily "Off" time from baseline (BL) (7.1±3.5h) and "On" time with dyskinesias (5.2±4.5h) at month 12 (M12) of -4.7±3.4 and -1.7±5.0h respectively (p
