Jul 15, 2024: PARKreg is our first Parkinson’s Disease Registry profile

The Swedish National Parkinson's Disease Patient Registry (PARKreg) is a national quality registry that aims to contribute to Swedish Parkinson's care by spreading new knowledge through research and education. Established in 2010, the register currently covers approximately 15,681 people with Parkinson's (PwP), out of whom 10,735 are still alive and residing in Sweden (of an estimated total of 22,000 PwP).
