Multicenter cohort study shows similar healthcare utilization in virtual and in-person neurology patients, suggesting comparable effectiveness.
In this propensity score-matched multicenter cohort, new neurology patients seen virtually had similar downstream utilization as those seen in-person, including comparable 90-day follow-up and similar neurologic and all-cause ED visits and hospitalizations. Although follow-up varied modestly by chief complaint and testing was more frequent after some in-person visits, no major differences emerged overall.
