| الوصف: | Introduction Population prevalence studies of migraine report prevalence rates of between 2.6% to 21.7%, with an average of ~12%. However, migraine prevalence among neurologists is reported to be between 27.6% and 48.6%. Our study examines migraine prevalence among three groups of attendees at a national neurology meeting i) neurologists, ii) neurology registrars, and iii) others (non-neurologists and non-neurology registrars). We hypothesise that there would be a step-wise increase in migraine prevalence, depending on the level of knowledge of the protean manifestations of migraine presentation. If our hypothesis is correct, this would suggest that the true population prevalence is higher than has been previously identified, and therefore only careful phenotyping of groups will allow for differences in genetic and biomarker outcomes to be determined. Methods A survey was designed with questions regarding demographics, history of migraine and specific questions aimed at neurologist respondents. Attendees at the Australian and New Zealand Association of Neurologists Annual Scientific Meeting (ANZAN ASM) 2017 were surveyed anonymously. Results 313 out of 606 attendees responded (51.7%). 65.9% of neurologists, 57.4% of neurology trainees and 52.5% of non-neurologist/neurology registrar respondents had a personal history of migraine, with the difference between neurologist and non-neurologist/neurology registrar groups being statistically significant (p=0.03). Migraine in migraineurs and non-migraine headache in non-migraineurs were nearly all self-diagnosed. Among neurologist migraineurs, 51.2% experienced migraine with aura and 43% migraine without aura. Conclusion Migraine prevalence is significantly higher in neurologists compared to non-neurologists and at least 2–3 times higher than reported in population prevalence studies. This may be due to significant under-recognition of migraine in non-neurologists and the population migraine prevalence is highly likely to be significantly higher than previously ... |
