Characteristics, diagnosis and outcome of patients referred to a specialized neurology emergency clinic: prospective observational study

CONCLUSIONS: Neurological diseases are common, with headache and cerebrovascular diseases being the most frequent diagnosis in this specialized ER. CT and MRI are most often used to diagnose or exclude neurological diseases. Many patients do not require immediate hospitalization. The two most frequent diagnoses for hospitalization were stroke and demyelinating disease.    LIMITATIONS: Absence of follow up data on patients discharged home.
