Mortality and Antipsychotic Drug Use in Elderly Patients With Parkinson Disease in Nursing Homes

In this study investigating factors associated with mortality in old and very old residents with PD in NHs, no significant association was observed with the use of antipsychotics. However, our study suggests that age (≥85 years) or chronic pulmonary disease could be associated with mortality among patients with PD, as well as arterial hypertension in very old patients (≥85 years of age).
