Based on the longitudinal trajectories of LEDD increment, participants were classified into three clusters: slow-increment, initial-increment, and rapid-increment. Outcomes were initial and longitudinal changes in motor phenotype, on-time motor symptoms, and the efficacy of anti-parkinsonian medications.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The initial-increment cluster exhibited greatest symptomatic improvements by administration of higher doses of LEDD, although the motor improvement per unit of LEDD was comparable across clusters. Longitudinally, motor phenotypes changed rapidly in the initial-increment cluster. The initial-increment cluster showed continuous worsening of on-time motor symptoms, with limited LEDD efficacy. In contrast, the rapid-increment cluster exhibited stable on-time motor symptoms, while the efficacy of anti-parkinsonian medications declined over time. The risk of disability related to walking and balance milestone and motor complications were twice as high in the initial-increment and rapid-increment clusters compared to the slow-increment cluster.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>There is heterogeneity in the increment of anti-parkinsonian medications, driven by changes in motor phenotype, medication efficacy, and the occurrence of PD-relevant milestones.
