ABSTRACT

Neurological diseases have become a growing concern, being considered a major cause of morbidity and mortality in both developed and developing countries. This research was carried out with the aim of characterizing the care activity of the Neurology service of the Celia Sánchez Manduley Clinical-Surgical Hospital. An observational, descriptive study was conducted in the Neurology service of the Celia Sánchez Manduley Clinical-Surgical Hospital, in the period from January to December 2019. The universe consisted of 3968 patients, treated in outpatient consultation and hospitalization. The results obtained were distributed in absolute frequencies and by hundreds. The following variables were taken into account: age, sex, municipality, diagnostic group and origin of the interconsultation. Female sex (57.7%) and the age group of 60 years and over (37.2%) predominated. The majority of patients were manzanilleros (36.4 %). Headache was the most representative diagnostic group (23.9%), and epilepsy was the main diagnosis with which patients were admitted (32.8%). The service that provided the highest requests for interconsultations for 66.8% was Internal Medicine. The reasons for consultation and the characteristics of hospitalized patients do not differ greatly from those presented by other authors. The most frequent reasons for consultation were headache and epilepsy. The age group with the highest demand for neurological assistance were patients over 60 years of age, with a predominance of the female sex. The highest number of hospitalizations corresponded to epilepsy and Parkinson's disease.
