Over a six month period, 22% of patients with headache seen in general neurology outpatient clinics reported prior attendance at an emergency department because of their headache; 9% of the headache cohort had been admitted to hospital. All had primary headache disorders according to International Headache Society diagnostic criteria. Improved primary care services for headache patients are required to reduce the burden of primary headache disorders seen in emergency departments.
在六个月的时间里，普通神经科门诊中因头痛就诊的患者中有22%报告曾因头痛前往急诊科就诊；头痛患者队列中有9%曾住院治疗。根据国际头痛协会的诊断标准，所有患者均患有原发性头痛疾病。需要改善针对头痛患者的初级保健服务，以减轻急诊科中所见原发性头痛疾病的负担。
