Incidence and prevalence of neurological disorders in the United Arab Emirates: a systematic review
A systematic review assessed the incidence and prevalence of neurological disorders in the UAE, revealing significant gaps in data. Eight studies were analyzed, with half focused on multiple sclerosis, showing an average crude prevalence of 56/100,000. Other studies addressed headaches, meningitis, cerebral venous thrombosis, and brain tumors.
The review underscores the urgent need for population-based, longitudinal studies to generate reliable epidemiological data and support healthcare capacity planning for the UAE’s evolving neurological needs.
