Persons who used only piribedil, amantadine, or anticholinergic agents (i.e., drugs rarely used for PD) were first contacted by mail; they were asked why these drugs had been prescribed, and those who answered PD/parkinsonism or did not know were invited to be examined by a neurologist.

Medications were converted into an equivalent dose of immediate-release levodopa (Madopar, Roche, Basel, Switzerland), according to the following formula: 100 mg immediate-release levodopa = 133 mg controlled-release levodopa = 1 mg pramipexole = 100 mg piribedil = 10 mg selegiline; each dose of levodopa was 25% more effective with entacapone.
