Functional Neurological Disorder Among Neurology In‐Patients
FND is the third most common diagnosis among in-hospital neurological patients, which stands in stark contrast to its underrepresentation in clinical training, service provision, and research funding. Stroke-like presentations and seizures are common forms of FND among emergency admissions. Reimbursement mechanisms of the diagnosis-related groups system might disincentivize accurate diagnostic coding and contribute to a cycle of neglect within health care.
