Impact of emergency room neurologists on patient management and outcome.

Unlabelled: The frequency and impact of in-patient assessment by a neurologist in the emergency room (ER) setting remain largely underestimated. The objective of our study was to analyse the impact of neurologist in-patient management.

Methods: Over a period of 12 months, we prospectively recorded the demographics of patients requiring examination in the ER, the ER team's tentative neurological diagnosis, the neurology team's final diagnosis and patient outcomes.
