Changes in Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale Part III (UPDRS-III) scores (A) and L-dopa equivalent dose (LED) (B) by tertile of baseline C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations.

<p>UPDRS-III score and LED (mg/day) were measured at the study enrollment and during the follow-up period. Subjects were sorted by baseline CRP concentration [≤0.2 mg/L (blue), 0.3–0.6 mg/L (green), and ≥0.7 mg/L (red)]. Symbols, and upper and lower error bars represent mean and 95% CI, respectively.
