Accuracy of Conversion Disorder Diagnosis via Telestroke Network Consultation: A Retrospective Cohort Study
We found a conversion disorder rate of 19.7% of stroke mimics in the Ochsner Health TeleStroke Network, with a positive predictive value of 0.976 of discriminating conversion disorder from IS/TIA. In our study, patients with conversion disorder were more likely to be female and younger and to have fewer vascular risk factors compared with IS/TIA patients.
