Types of diagnostic errors in neurological emergencies in the emergency department

Although we cannot make any conclusions about the frequency of misdiagnoses of patients with neurological problems, we have identified some of the reasons behind misdiagnosis, some of which suggest certain solutions. The most common causes of error in our study were knowledge gaps, which result from education deficits about the conditions that were misdiagnosed.

Neurological Emergencies Treatment Trials (NETT) Network

Acute neurologic disorders, relative to their effect on society, have been very poorly studied. Many of these neurological problems require emergent evaluation and treatment, ideally by a multi-disciplinary team. The NETT network has been established to address just these issues as the discovery and implementation of effective treatments for neurological emergencies will require sophisticated study protocols derived from large-scale clinical trials.
