cord-252699-0xw9xvox	de Marcaida, Joy Antonelle	Clinical Characteristics of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) among Patients at a Movement Disorders Center	2020-09-18		.txt	text/plain	3438	151	42	Second, we reviewed Hartford HealthCare's EHR to identify patients with Parkinson disease who were admitted for COVID-19 to any of our six affiliate hospitals across the state as a way to estimate the burden of COVID-19 on the population of patients with movement disorders. Of the patients who died, twelve (92%) were greater than 60 years old, eleven (85%) had parkinsonism, eleven (85%) were from an extended care facility, nine (69%) had comorbid dementia, nine (69%) had at least one high-risk comorbid condition, eight (62%) had alteration in mental status as a presenting symptom, and eight (62%) received a medication with antiviral properties (hydroxychloroquine, oseltamivir, amantadine, and memantine), including three who were on an adamantane prior to contracting COVID-19. Within our cohort of patients with movement disorders, factors related to increased mortality were age over 60 years, PD or parkinsonism diagnosis, residing in an extended care facility, comorbid dementia, and comorbid medical conditions.	./cache/cord-252699-0xw9xvox.txt	./txt/cord-252699-0xw9xvox.txt
