  This is a retrospective cohort study to evaluate the risk of malignant melanoma in individuals with Parkinson’s disease treated and not treated with rasagiline. The study will be implemented in the United States Medicare research database, using data from 2006 through 2015 among individuals aged 65 years or older. The study is designed to estimate the incidence rate of melanoma in new users of rasagiline (Cohort A), new users of other anti-Parkinson’s medications (Cohort B), new and prevalent users of other anti-Parkinson’s medications (Cohort C), and individuals without Parkinson’s disease (Cohort D). Melanoma incidence will be compared between Cohorts A and B, A and C, and C and D.
