Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Essential tremor (ET) is a clinically heterogeneous disease characterized by motor and non-motor features, including cognitive impairment. In a cross-sectional analysis, we determined whether the presence and severity of motor features of ET are associated with cognitive performance. Participants enrolled in a study that used motor and neuropsychological measures to characterize a cohort of ET subjects. Action tremor severity and additional motor features (rest tremor, intention tremor, cranial tremor, dystonia, tandem gait missteps) were assessed in non-demented participants. Participants completed a cognitive test protocol assessing domains of memory, executive function, attention, visuospatial ability, and language. An average z-score was calculated to represent global cognition. There were 204 ET participants (mean age 78.6, range 55–95). Participants with 10 missteps were more likely to have MCI than those with 0 or 1 misstep ( p < 0.001). In unadjusted linear regression models, action tremor severity ( p = 0.010), rest tremor (p < 0.001), and tandem gait missteps (p < 0.001) were negatively associated with global cognition. In adjusted models, only tandem gait missteps were negatively associated with global cognition ( p < 0.001). Missteps were also negatively associated with memory (p < 0.001), executive function (p < 0.001), attention ( p = 0.011), and visuospatial function ( p = 0.043). No other motor features were associated with global cognition in adjusted models ( p > 0.05). Among non-demented participants with ET, there is an association between cognitive performance and tandem gait missteps, but no other motor features of ET. This is a first step in establishing impaired tandem gait as a possible indicator of cognitive impairment in patients with ET.
