Table 5_Two-year longitudinal neuropsychological monitoring after unilateral and staged bi

A longitudinal clinical dataset tracks cognitive function, mood, and quality of life in 30 Parkinson's disease patients undergoing subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation. The data includes assessments at baseline, 6 months, and 24 months post-surgery, with evaluations focusing on attention, memory, and executive functions. Author Szczepan Iwański published the dataset under a CC-BY-4.0 license on figshare in 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze longitudinal trends in cognitive function based on the three assessment time points mentioned in the description.
• Compare neuropsychological outcomes between unilateral and bilateral DBS patient subgroups.
• Assess the relationship between motor improvement and stability in mood/quality of life over a two-year follow-up.
• Evaluate the proportion of patients meeting criteria for cognitive decline against normative data.

Strengths

• Includes a 30-patient cohort with three longitudinal assessment points over 24 months.
• Assesses multiple domains critical for daily activities: attention, processing speed, learning, episodic memory, and executive functions.
• Provides subgroup analysis for both unilateral and staged bilateral DBS treatment paths.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small at 18.7 KB, indicating limited scope.
