Editor—We previously examined the association between the exposure of surgery and anaesthesia for appendicitis and the subsequent development of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD). 1 2 We chose to focus on appendicectomy because appendicitis appears to occur fairly randomly (acting as a natural experiment), and its sequelae are generally not long term, unlike other procedures possibly needed as a result of underlying illnesses that may affect long-term outcomes. Literature has suggested that there are common pathways of neurodegeneration in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and ADRD. 3–5 We used the same cohort of patients who received an appendicectomy for appendicitis with similarly matched patients who did not have an appendicectomy, to investigate an association between exposure to surgery and anaesthesia and PD. This study was approved by the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Institutional Review Board.Covariate balance after matching is shown in Supplementary Appendix 1, Section 1. The details of our matching techniques were published previously. 1 Briefly, for each of 55 000 older patients undergoing an appendicectomy for acute appendicitis, we matched five controls on 211 covariates reflecting health before the appendicectomy and followed these patients for up to 15 yr to determine if exposure to appendicectomy was associated with an increased rate of PD. Previous studies have suggested a 0.1–0.3% annual incidence rate of PD among older individuals in the USA (Supplementary Appendix 1, Section 7). This study had> 80% power to detect a 1.1
