Measure
Dopamine Agonist (Cohort 1)
Participants with Parkinson's Disease (PD)/Parkinsonism, Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) or hyperprolactinemia (previously treated) who newly started one of the ergot-derived Dopamine Agonists (DAs): Lisuride, Cabergoline, Metergoline, Bromocriptine, Pergolide, Dihydroergocryptine mesylate, Quinagolide, Ropinirole, Pramipexole, Piribedil, or Rotigotine.
Levodopa (Cohort 2)
Participants with PD/Parkinsonism or RLS who newly started treatment with Levodopa: Levodopa and decarboxylase inhibitor; Levodopa, decarboxylase inhibitor and catechol-O-methyl transferase \[COMT\] inhibitor; MeLevodopa; MeLevodopa and decarboxylase inhibitor; or EtiLevodopa and decarboxylase inhibitor and had not been treated with DAs anytime prior.
Hyperprolactinemia (Cohort 3)
Participants with newly diagnosed hyperprolactinemia (excluding postpartum hyperprolactinemia), who had not been treated with DAs anytime prior.
Healthy Controls (Cohort 4)
Healthy control participants matched (1:1) with participants in the DA cohort (Cohort 1) for age (exact year), gender, database and date of start of DA.
