101648/196: A Long-Term, Open-Label Continuation Study of Once Daily Administration of Ropinirole CR Tablets to Patients With Parkinson's Disease Who Completed the Previous Ropinirole CR Studies 167 or 164

Unified Parkinson's Disease (PD) Rating Scale (UPDRS) Total Activities of Daily Living Scores (Intent-to-Treat Population)

The UPDRS is a clinician-based scale used to assess the longitudinal course of PD. Two of the six sections were assessed (Part II, Activities of Daily Living (ADL); Part III, Motor Examination). Both consist of a number of items (ADL, 13 items; Motor Exam., 17 items), and each item has a choice of 5 responses that are numerically scored 0-4, with 0 as the least severe response and 4 as the most severe response. ADL final score is a sum of the 13 items and may have a value between 0 (no impairment of overall activities) and 52 (severe impairment of overall activities). LTT, long-term treatment.
