Dopa were expressed as adjusted values including concomitant entacapone.

*HR was adjusted for age, sex, mH-Y (1-3 vs 4-5), MMSE (= < 24 vs >24) and duration of PD, using a generalized estimating equation.

HR was calculated for Dopa (100 mg/d, adjusted), DA agonist (LDED, 100 mg/d), selegiline (2.5 mg/d), amantadine (50 mg/d), anti-cholinergics (use vs not use), and donepezil (use vs not use).

Hazard period: prescription at psychosis occurrence.

Control period: prescription 1 month and 3 months before psychosis occurrence.
