Objective We sought to evaluate demographic, clinical, and habits/occupational variables between phenotypic extremes in Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods Databases from nine movement disorders centers across seven countries were retrospectively searched for subjects meeting criteria for very slowly progressive, benign, PD (bPD) and rapidly progressive, malignant, PD (mPD). bPD was defined as Hoehn and Yahr (H&Y) stage <= 3, normal cognitive function, and Schwab and England (S&E) score >= 70 after >= 20 years of PD (>= 10 years if older than 60 at PD onset); mPD as H&Y > 3, S&E score < 70, and cognitive impairment within 10 years from PD onset. We performed between-group analysis of demographic, habits/occupational, and clinical features at baseline and follow-up and unsupervised data-driven analysis of the clinical homogeneity of bPD and mPD. Results At onset, bPD subjects (n = 210) were younger, had a single limb affected, lower severity and greater asymmetry of symptoms, and lower prevalence of depression than mPD (n = 155). bPD was associated with active smoking and physical activity, mPD with agricultural occupation. At follow-up, mPD showed higher prevalence of depression, hallucinations, dysautonomia, and REM behaviour disorder. Interestingly, the odds of mPD were significantly reduced by the presence of dyskinesia and wearing-off. Data-driven analysis confirmed the independent clustering of bPD and mPD, with age at onset emerging as a critical discriminant between the two groups (< 46-year-old vs. > 68-year-old). Conclusions Phenotypic PD extremes showed distinct demographic, clinical, and habits/occupational factors. Motor complications may be conceived as markers of therapeutic success given their attenuating effects on the odds of mPD.
