<0.2 mg/L 0.3–0.6 mg/L 0.7 mg/L< p
Hallucinations Yes, n (%) 5 (13.2%) 8 (21.6%) 15 (41.7%) 0.005
No, n (%) 33 (86.8%) 29 (78.4%) 21 (58.3%)
UPDRS-3 mean (SD) 21.2 (10.1) 23.6 (11.4) 23.9 (10.2) 0.44
MMSE mean (SD) 28.3 (2.0) 27.7 (2.0) 26.4 (3.5) 0.002
Age (Y) mean (SD) 67.2 (7.8) 70.8 (7.3) 71.1 (7.9) 0.05
DA agonist (LDED, mg/day) median (IQR) 83.5 (0–168) 67.0 (0–200) 71.0 (0–134) 0.70
L-Dopa (mg/day) mean (SD) 435.5 (183.2) 412.8 (185.7) 456.3 (170.0) 0.59
PPQ-A score median (IQR) 1 (0–2) 0 (0–1) 1 (0–2) 0.09

p was calculated using Chi-square test for hallucinations (p for trend), ANOVA for UPDRS-3, MMSE, age, L-Dopa, Kruskal-Wallis test for DA agonist and PPQ-A score.
