Prevalence of Diagnosed Essential Tremor in the United States: An Administrative Claims-Based Study
This study found that 1.1 million US adults were estimated to have been diagnosed with essential tremor, with the sensitivity analyses yielding additional estimates. Estimating reliable and generalizable prevalences of diagnosed chronic conditions requires selection of appropriate case definitions and standardization to the general population.
