Children with epilepsy put a significant strain on the medical system. There are few pediatric neurologists in most developing nations, and caregivers face numerous financial and logistical obstacles in addition to a lengthy waiting period for initial and follow-up visits. Telemedicine has been proposed as an effective alternative to lessen this burden. The telephonic consultation of a pediatric neurology fellow was compared to that of a specialty nurse; In-person consultation (the gold standard) is opposed by both. At least 24 hours before their scheduled hospital appointment, one pediatric neurology fellow and one specialty nurse consulted telephonically with caregivers of epileptic children ages 4 to 18 in random order. After the face-to-face interview during the hospital visit, another pediatric neurology fellow who was unaware of the telephonic consultation documented the same thing.
