UNASSIGNED: Aim was to analyze predictors of burden among primary caregivers (CGs) of Indian @entity191 ( @entity191 ) @entity1 . 150 @entity191 @entity1 were administered using Unified @entity191 Rating Scale (UPDRS), Hoehn and Yahr Scale (H_Y), Montgomery Asberg @entity308 Rating Score (MADRS) and @entity1032 ( @entity1032 ) in this cross-sectional evaluation study. CG burden was assessed by Caregiver's Burden Scale (CBS), @entity148 and @entity308 Scale (HADS), @entity32298 -item Burden Assessment Schedule (BAS). Linear regression methods were used to evaluate factors contributing to burden and stress. Mean age of CG was 50.38  16.04 (range: 25-83yrs). Marital status of CGs was noted to have significant relationship with CBS score (F=9.525, P<0.0001). Siblings (brother/sister) reported the highest CBS score while the wives reported the least. Correlations were strong between CBS and HADS @entity148 (r=0.228, P=0.0048) and HADS @entity308 (r=0.2172, P=0.0076). High correlations were found in caregiving duration, @entity1 ' stage of illness and @entity717 among all the scales (CBS, HADS, SF36) determined. Step-wise regression analysis showed UPDRS ( @entity8652 .364-0.202 ranging among all scales) and H_Y stages ( @entity2263 .786-7.257) to have the strongest influence on CGs. CGs of @entity1 with @entity308 (MADRS: P=0.007 (SF36 mental) and @entity303 ( @entity1032 : P=0.01) experienced greater stress. Social and financial status was disrupted in ~60% to 80% of the CGs. Motor imbalances with disability of @entity191 @entity1 and severity of disease are the main factors contributing to burden and stress in CGs.
