Is impact of clinical fractures on health-related quality of life dependent on time of assessment since fracture : results from the FREEDOM trial?
These findings not only demonstrate that incident clinical fractures impact HRQoL but also contribute new information regarding the impact of these fracture events on HRQoL over time.
We suggest exercising caution regarding a diagnosis of ET in patients presenting with late onset asymmetrical postural tremor even if there is no rest tremor. Alcohol sensitivity of tremor, family history of tremor, or responsiveness to beta blockers may not be helpful in diagnosing ET in these cases and some may develop PD in the long term.
