The evaluation of distal symmetric polyneuropathy: utilisation and expenditures by community neurologists.
The aim of the study was to determine utilization and expenditures in the evaluation of a new diagnosis of distal symmetric polyneuropathy (DSP) by community neurologists using a population-based design and a strict case definition. It concluded that electrodiagnostic tests and MRIs are frequently ordered in the diagnostic evaluation of DSP and account for more than 80% of the expenditures.
