definition |
Definition: Tremor is defined as an involuntary, rhythmic, and oscillatory movement of a body part. Tremor is an involuntary, rhythmic muscle contraction leading to shaking movements in one or more parts of the body. It is a common movement disorder that most often affects the hands but can also occur in the arms, head, vocal cords, torso, and legs. In the clinical summaries of the NBB, the type of tremor was often not specified, as the neurologists also do not specify it in their documentation every time. It was mostly reported in summaries where it concerns Parkinson’s disease, so then we can assume it being a rest tremor. But most often, it was NOT specified (no remarks on type of tremor, like ‘rest’ or ‘action’). Therefore, we decided to include the word tremor in general. |

Exclusion_criteria |
We scored as TRUE: Rest tremor; action tremor; tremor; trembling hand. We did NOT score: shaking, as this is often described in the case notes in relation to epilepsy / seizures. CAUTION: Researchers must be aware that the tremor can come from different origins, as it can both be a rest tremor or an action tremor. Depending on the clinical diagnosis, one can assume a certain type of tremor. Because it is often not specified (written only as ‘tremor’), the machine learning will select all tremor cases, which can also mean the action tremors. If we decided to only select rest tremor, we might miss a lot of tremor cases. |
