We modified our general neurology clinic to be conducted using remote audio-only telephone consultations. We included all patients over a 10-week period who agreed to both a telephone consultation and a questionnaire afterwards in order to ascertain the patient\u2019s perspective of the experience. There were 212 participants consisting of men (43.8%) and women (56.2%). The mean \u00b1 standard deviation of age was 47.8 \u00b1 17.0 (range 17\u201393) years. For the most part, patients found remote consultations either \u201cjust as good\u201d (67.1%) or \u201cbetter\u201d (9.0%) than face-to-face consultations. Those who deemed it to be \u201cnot as good\u201d were significantly older (52.3 \u00b1 17.9 years vs. 46.6 \u00b1 16.6 years, &lt;i&gt;p =&lt;\/i&gt;0.045) or were more likely to have a neurological disorder that required clinical examination, namely, a neuromuscular condition (66.7%, &lt;i&gt;p =&lt;\/i&gt; 0.002) or an undiagnosed condition (46.7%, &lt;i&gt;p =&lt;\/i&gt; 0.031). At the height of the COVID-19 global pandemic, most patients were satisfied with remote consultations. The positive feedback for remote consultations needs to be verified outside of this unique scenario because the results were likely influenced by the patients\u2019 apprehension to attend the hospital amongst other factors. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000511900","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,4]],"date-time":"2020-11-04T22:00:43Z","timestamp":1604527243000},"page":"622-625","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Patients\u2019 Experiences of Remote Neurology Consultations during the COVID-19 Pandemic"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"83","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0639-523X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mary Clare","family":"McKenna","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mahmood","family":"Al-Hinai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Bradley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elisabeth","family":"Doran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Isabelle","family":"Hunt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Siobhan","family":"Hutchinson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yvonne","family":"Langan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Deirdre","family":"O\u2019Rourke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Raga","family":"Qasem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Janice","family":"Redmond","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Emma","family":"Troy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Colin P.","family":"Doherty","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.0000000000009494"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/practneurol-2020-002571"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1357633X20916567"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jns.2020.116930"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11606-015-3489-x"}],"container-title":["European Neurology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/511900","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/511900","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T16:11:29Z","timestamp":1745424689000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000511900"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020]]},"references-count":5,"journal-issue":{"issue":"6","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,29]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,2]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000511900","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0014-3022","1421-9913"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0014-3022","type":"print"},{"value":"1421-9913","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2020]]}}}
