European Academy of Neurology

Neurological diseases are common, and neurologists are the ones who care for patients suffering from these diseases in most European countries. The European Academy of Neurology (EAN) is conducting a research project to estimate the current situation regarding neurological diseases and the care of neurology patients in Europe (NeuroStructure and NeuroCare). The study of the current burden of neurological disease in Europe (part of NeuroStructure) is based on the database of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), University of Washington, Seattle, USA, from which we have extracted data. Additional data on neurologists have been taken from the EAN database.
Here we present some key data from this study reflecting the situation of neurology in Europe in 2017.
For the purposes of this fact sheet, Europe is statistically considered as the countries of the European Union (EU28), the Western, Central and Eastern subregions of Europe according to the IHME1 and WHO-defined Europe2. The latter coincides with the area of member societies of EAN.
