Key Points

This research aims to assess how consistently different reviewers can use the PAFA to evaluate parkinsonism.
Evaluated interrater reliability of the PAFA through retrospective cohort analysis.
Multiple reviewers scored the same cases to compare consistency in the assessment.
Interrater reliability was found to be high, indicating strong agreement among reviewers.
Statistical analysis showed a weighted kappa of 0.85 (95% CI, 0.70-1.00), with p<0.001 confirming significance.
