Practice Styles of US Compared to UK Neurologists Neurol 50:1661-1668, Vickrey,B.G.,et al, 1998 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract A higher proportion of US than UK neurologists indicated they would order additional diagnostic tests for all three scenarios;77%of UK compared with 26%of US neurologists would manage a single unprovoked seizure without antiepileptic medication,but treatment of early Parkinson's disease was not different.Nearly all US and UK neurologists would obtain a neuroimaging study in the evaluation of dementia.International differences persisted after adjustment for differences in demographic and practice characteristics and for attitudes toward test use and clinical uncertainty.We identified large international variation in clinical decisions across three common neurologic conditions.Cross-country collaboration should explore these differences to develop consensus on standards of care.
