Neuropsychiatric diseases are common among forcibly displaced persons, and a better understanding is needed to improve screening and treatment efforts. We performed a retrospective cross-sectional study at a single academic center looking at neuropsychiatric diagnoses of United States resettled refugees presenting for their domestic medical examination. Over one-third (33%) of our study population had at least one neuropsychiatric diagnosis. Although globally and in the United States, leading causes of neurological disease are stroke, dementia, and migraines, in our clinic the predominant etiologies were headache disorders, peripheral nerve disorders, and traumatic brain injury, highlighting a need for broadening screening at this initial visit.

神经精神疾病在被迫流离失所者中很常见，需要更好地了解以改进筛查和治疗工作。我们在一个学术中心进行了一项回顾性横断面研究，观察前来进行国内体检的美国重新安置难民的神经精神诊断情况。我们研究人群中超过三分之一（33%）至少有一种神经精神诊断。尽管在全球和美国，神经系统疾病的主要病因是中风、痴呆和偏头痛，但在我们的诊所，主要病因是头痛障碍、周围神经疾病和创伤性脑损伤，这凸显了在初次就诊时扩大筛查范围的必要性。《神经病学年鉴》2025年。
