✦ Synopsis

The present study has several limitations, with its retrospective nature, the selected sample of brain donors, and the small number of patients being the most important.

Although PD reporting in death certificate may be increasing, our results are in agreement with those of previous studies and suggest that death certificate-based research is significantly biased. Other means (i.e., specific forms such as the "agonal state" form) should be used in future PD studies in order to reduce such bias.
