Dopaminergic medications, quality of life, and time in “on” in LE-PD and Control-PD. Total and Dopamine-agonists (D-Ag) Levodopa Equivalent Daily Dose (LEDD) (a, b), PDQ-8 summary index (SI) and time spent in ON (c, d) before and after Levodopa–Carbidopa Intrajejunal Gel Infusion (LCIG) in “Late elderly” Parkinson’s disease (LE-PD) and Control-PD. After LCIG, a significant decrease of D-Ag LEDD and PDQ-8 and a significant increase of time spent in ON were achieved, without differences between LE-PD and Control-PD
