Adult-Onset Myoclonus in a Large Urban Inpatient Setting: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Background: Myoclonus is a hyperkinetic movement with various attributable etiologies, semiologies, and treatment outcomes. To our knowledge, few studies investigated adult-onset myoclonus in an inpatient setting.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed charts of adult inpatients with myoclonus at New York Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital between 2011 and 2021.

Movement disorders fellowship training program at Columbia University Medical Center in 2001-2002.

Data regarding the clinical experience of movement disorders subspecialty training are currently not available. In order to provide information to help design a well-rounded clinical experience, we reviewed the number and types of patients seen by all clinical movement disorders fellows over the course of 1 year at Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC). We conducted a retrospective analysis of all patients seen by four full-time clinical fellows and one part-time fellow during the 2001-2002 academic year, using billing records to tabulate all clinic visits and patient charts to certify diagnosis.
