Popis: BACKGROUND PD comorbid with schizophrenia has been considered rare because these diseases associate with opposite alterations in the brain dopamine system. The objective of this study was to investigate the risk of PD after a diagnosis of a schizophrenia spectrum disorder. METHODS Regionally, this was a retrospective record-based case-control study. The cohort included 3045 PD patients treated 2004-2019 in southwestern Finland. Nationally this was a nested case-control study using registers to examine Finnish patients who received a clinically confirmed PD diagnosis 1996-2015 (n = 22,189). PD patients with previously diagnosed schizophrenia spectrum disorder (separate analysis for schizophrenia) were included. Comparable non-PD control groups were derived from both data sets. All PD diagnoses were based on individual clinical examinations by certified neurologists. RESULTS In PD patients, the prevalence of earlier schizophrenia spectrum disorder was 0.76% in regional data and 1.50% in nationwide data. In age-matched controls, the prevalence in the regional and national data was 0.16% and 1.31%, respectively. The odds ratio for PD after schizophrenia spectrum disorder diagnosis was 4.63 (95% CI, 1.76-12.19; P
