Abstract

Introduction: Our world is aging rapidly, so this age population is on the increase also in our community. Designation of the frequent diseases and their risk factors in this age group may bring about a decrease in both disabilities and health expenditures. The aim of this study was to identify the frequency of neurological symptoms and the established diagnoses in patients admitted to the emergency department.
