IVC Evidensia referrals are leading the way with the first-ever Consensus Statement on the management of seizure emergencies. Led by Chair Marios Charalambous, Referral Neurology Consultant at Blaise IVC Evidensia, supported by panellists Karen Muñana, Ned E. Patterson, Simon R. Platt, and Holger A. Volk, the consensus statement offers guidance on what is commonly seen within primary care practices. The select group of five distinguished specialists renowned in the field convened to evaluate and consolidate findings from peer-reviewed literature. Chair, Marios Charalambous said, "This Consensus Statement stands as the culmination of extensive endeavours aimed at addressing the management of complex yet frequently encountered neurological emergencies. Not only does the Statement provide universally applicable official guidelines for both primary and specialised clinicians, but it also introduces a novel perspective on the therapeutic approach to seizure emergencies, while highlighting potential avenues for future research in this domain."

Dr. Naomi Sacks, HEORStrategies Vice President, is a co-author of a study on myasthenia gravis (MG) just published in the journal Neurology. MG is a disorder that affects nerve and muscle communication, leads to chronic muscle weakness, and has a substantial adverse effect on patients’ quality of life. Using data from the National Inpatient Survey (NIS), a representative sample of hospitalizations in the US, and data on hospitalizations from the Medicare Limited Data Set, Dr. Sacks and co-authors examined trends in hospitalizations and mortality for MG. They found that hospital admissions for MG increased at an annualized rate of 4.9% from 2010–2019. They also found that in-hospital mortality was low when they looked at patients of all ages, averaging 1.8% per admission. However, in-hospital mortality was substantially higher among those aged 65 and older, averaging 5.0% in each study year. The increasing MG hospitalization rates suggest that the burden of this disease is growing, especially among older adults. Listen to a podcast with lead author, neurologist Dr. Ali A.
