Compared with patients who had been evaluated by non-neurologists, patients who had been evaluated by a neurologist were more likely to have photophobia, phonophobia, and nausea assessed (75.9% vs 20.0%, odds ratio [OR] 12.6, 95% confidence interval [CI] 4.90 to 32.2); more likely to be diagnosed with migraine (48.1% vs 14.3%, OR 5.6, 95% CI 2.0 to 15); less likely to be diagnosed with occipital neuralgia (39.8% vs 65.7%, OR 0.3, 95% CI 0.2 to 0.8); and equally likely to be diagnosed with cervicogenic headache (21.3% vs 25.7%, OR 0.8, 95% CI 0.3 to 1.9).
