Limitations
The analysis reflects retrospectively all of the urgent consultation
cases within 4 years in our hospital except for the emergency department
because of the special case recorded system. This analysis is limited by
the discipline distribution of our hospital. The results may be not
applicable to other hospitals. To know the current condition of urgent
neurologic consultation, a large scale cases and multicenter study
should be done in the future.
