Table 2_Two-year longitudinal neuropsychological monitoring after unilateral and staged bi

A cohort of 30 patients with Parkinson's disease was evaluated before and after unilateral or staged bilateral subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (DBS). Neuropsychological assessments were conducted at baseline, 6 months, and 24 months post-surgery, focusing on cognitive function, mood, and quality of life. The dataset, authored by Szczepan Iwański and last updated in May 2026, is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Analyzing longitudinal trends in cognitive function based on repeated assessments over a 2-year period.
• Comparing neuropsychological outcomes between unilateral and bilateral DBS treatment groups.
• Investigating the relationship between motor improvement and stability in mood or quality of life metrics.
• Benchmarking patient cognitive scores against normative data to identify individual decline.

Strengths

• Longitudinal design with three assessment time points over 2 years.
• Cohort of 30 patients allows for subgroup analysis of unilateral vs. bilateral DBS.
• Assessments cover multiple domains: attention, processing speed, memory, executive functions, mood, and quality of life.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The 16.8 KB file size suggests a very limited scope, likely summary statistics rather than raw patient-level data.
