Fondazione IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo di Pavia
Enrollment
825 participants
Start Date
Jan 26, 2024
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Conditions
Summary
This study will assess the sensitivity and specificity of the bedside examination algorithm performed by ED physicians. Finally, it aims to identify predictors of a central cause of the symptoms. This will consequently reduce the rate of misdiagnosis as well as the costs and length of stay due to inappropriate neuroimaging.
