“…The results showed that 96% of caregivers were satisfied with the quality of this telemedicine service ( 85 ). Another study from India also found that video tele-consultation using cell phones improved the management of patients with epilepsy ( 86 ). Perhaps, telemedicine may be actively explored as an alternative strategy for the management and supervision of treatment of epilepsy patients in future.…”

BackgroundThe characteristic symptom of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is respiratory distress, but neurological symptoms are the most frequent extra-pulmonary symptoms. This study aims to explore the current status and hot topics of neurology-related research on COVID-19 using bibliometric analysis.MethodsPublications regarding neurology and COVID-19 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) on March 28 2022. The Advanced search was conducted using “TS = (‘COVID 19’ or ‘Novel Coronavirus 2019’ or ‘Coronavirus disease 2019’ or ‘2019-nCOV’ or ‘SARS-CoV-2’ or ‘coronavirus-2’) and TS = (‘neurology’or ‘neurological’ or ‘nervous system’ or ‘neurodegenerative disease’ or ‘brain’ or ‘cerebra’ or ‘nerve’)”. Microsoft Excel 2010 and VOSviewer were used to characterize the largest contributors, including the authors, journals, institutions, and countries. The hot topics and knowledge network were analyzed by CiteSpace and VOSviewer.ResultsA total of 5,329 publications between 2020 and 2022 were retrieved. The United States, Italy, and the United Kingdom were three key contributors to this field. Harvard Medical School, the Tehran University of Medical Sciences, and the UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology were the major institutions with the largest publications. Josef Finsterer from the University of São Paulo (Austria) was the most prolific author. Tom Solomon from the University of Liverpool (UK) was the most cited author. Neurological Sciences and Frontiers in Neurology were the first two most productive journals, while Journal of Neurology held the first in terms of total citations and citations per publication. Cerebrovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, encephalitis and encephalopathy, neuroimmune complications, neurological presentation in children, long COVID and mental health, and telemedicine were the central topics regarding the neurology-related research on COVID-19.ConclusionNeurology-related research on COVID-19 has attracted considerable attention worldwide. Research topics shifted from “morality, autopsy, and telemedicine” in 2020 to various COVID-19-related neurological symptoms in 2021, such as “stroke,” “Alzheimer's disease,” “Parkinson's disease,” “Guillain–Barre syndrome,” “multiple sclerosis,” “seizures in children,” and “long COVID.” “Applications of telemedicine in neurology during COVID-19 pandemic,” “COVID-19-related neurological complications and mechanism,” and “long COVID” require further study.

“…Patients and providers self-reported their level of satisfaction on a visual analog scale (VAS; range 0-100) with end anchors indicating 'not at all satisfied' or 'extremely satisfied'. Patient satisfaction was additionally measured using the Telemedicine Satisfaction Questionnaire (TSQ; range 1-5), a patient-reported outcome measure that has been shown to be both reliable and valid, 32 Used in numerous studies investigating patient satisfaction with telemedicine, 15 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 the TSQ consists of 14 items scored on a 5 point Likert scale and assesses satisfaction across the quality of care provided, similarity to face-to-face encounter, and overall perception of the interaction. Patients also answered two binary questions about (1) their desire to choose telemedicine over in-person therapy in the future and (2) their internet reliability.…”

“…In the studies carried out in the field of teledermatology, in total, 935 (18.18%) were very satisfied, 2,230 (42.65%) were satisfied, 1,749 (33.45%) partially satisfied, and 300 (5.7%) patients were dissatisfied with telehealth consultation [40]. One study on persons with epilepsy in southern India shows that 90% of 95 PWEs either agree or strongly agree with 14 of the 12 telemedicine feasibility questions [41]. Telehealth services are used for follow-up of cases and minor eye problems [42], [43].…”

COVID-19 has provided an unprecedented opportunity to expand access and coverage to the country's healthcare system via telehealth. Because of the growing need for telemedicine by healthcare providers, the Medical Council of India issued Practice Guidelines in March 2020. Medical specialties like ophthalmology, dermatology, and neurology offered telehealth services during pandemics. Low-middle-income countries like India are highly dependent on out-of-pocket expenses for health services. Thus, there is a need to understand telehealth's accessibility, feasibility and affordability. This review aims to understand trends regarding the access and patient response to telehealth in India during the COVID-19 pandemic. We reviewed published papers to understand better accessibility and patient response to the healthcare delivery systems via telehealth in India. The results of this review showed that patients were satisfied with the use of telehealth. Healthcare providers and patients believe telehealth can be suitable for various healthcare services, including follow-up visits in clinical disciplines and minor health problems. In conclusion, for Telehealth to understand further, quality evidence must be available, and its role in developing integrated parts of the healthcare system to be defined.
