00925njm 22002777a 4500 dc Cubo Delgado, Esther author 2012-05 Tic disorders are neurodevelopmental disorders of childhood associated with psychiatric comorbidity and academic problems. Estimating the prevalence and understanding the epidemiology of tic disorders is more complex than was once thought. Until fairly recently, tic disorders were thought to be rare, but today tics are believed to be the most common movement disorder, with 0.2–46.3% of schoolchildren experiencing tics during their lifetime. Tentative explanations for differing prevalence estimates include the multidimensional nature of tics with a varied and heterogeneous presentation, and the use of different epidemiological methods and study designs. http://hdl.handle.net/10259/8766 10.5334/tohm.114 2160-8288 Epidemiology Prevalence studies Tics Movement disorders Screening in epidemiology Review of Prevalence Studies of Tic Disorders: Methodological Caveats
