TABLE 3.
Cox regression for mortality controlled for spiral score and age at spiral scorea
| Definite ET, Probable/Possible ET, Other Tremors vs. Remaining Participants | |||
|---|---|---|---|
|
| |||
| N (Control Group) | HR (95% CI) | P Value | |
| Definite ET (n = 34) | 1,831 | 0.70 (0.46; 1.06) | 0.09 |
| Possible/probable ET (n = 65) | 0.91 (0.66; 1.25) | 0.54 | |
| Other tremors (n = 17) | 1.23 (0.69; 2.21) | 0.49 | |
Although the ET patients have a lower mortality rate, the other tremors have a trend toward higher mortality than the aging-related tremor. These are not significant findings, most likely because of the small sample size.
