This project provides standardized anamnesis (patient history) templates for common complaints in neurology practice. Its purpose is to make the patient assessment and documentation processes more efficient, complete, and systematic for clinicians (neurologists, resident physicians, medical students).
For each neurological complaint, there are two types of files:
.txtTemplate File: A clean anamnesis template ready to be copied and pasted directly into patient notes or Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems._Açıklama.mdExplanation File: A detailed guide explaining the clinical reasoning behind each question, examination finding, and planning step in the template, its importance in differential diagnosis, and potential "red flags".
- Headache:
BaşAğrısı.txt&BaşAğrısı_Açıklama.md - Dizziness:
BaşDönmesi.txt&BaşDönmesi_Açıklama.md - Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH):
BIH.txt&BIH_Açıklama.md - Dementia / Forgetfulness:
Demans.txt&Demans_Açıklama.md
- In Clinical Practice: You can take a quick and complete history by copying the content of the relevant
.txtfile and pasting it into your patient record system. - For Educational Purposes: By reading the corresponding
_Açıklama.mdfile, you can learn why certain questions are asked when evaluating a symptom, which findings point to which diagnoses, and current diagnostic criteria (e.g., SNOOP, HINTS, Modified Dandy).
- Standardization: Ensures that critical questions are not missed for any patient.
- Efficiency: Speeds up the documentation process in a busy outpatient clinic setting.
- Educational: The explanation files describe the thought process from symptom to diagnosis step-by-step.
- Current and Evidence-Based: The templates include internationally accepted and current diagnostic tools and criteria such as SNOOP (headache), HINTS (dizziness), and Modified Dandy (IIH).
- Turkish and Adapted for Local Practice: Prepared entirely in Turkish, considering the needs of healthcare professionals in Turkey.
All templates and explanations in this repository are for educational and informational purposes only. These documents do not substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
- Not a Substitute for Clinical Judgment: These templates are not designed to replace a clinician's individual patient assessment and clinical judgment. Every patient is unique, and the evaluation must be tailored to the patient's specific situation.
- Responsibility: All responsibility for patient care, diagnosis, and treatment decisions lies with the licensed healthcare professional evaluating the patient. The developers of this project cannot be held responsible for any consequences arising from the use of these templates.
- For Guidance Purposes: The templates should be used as a reminder guide when taking an anamnesis. A patient's condition may require additional questions or examinations not included in the template.
- Not Professional Training: These materials are not part of formal medical education or specialty training and should not be considered as such.
By using these templates, you declare that you have read, understood, and accepted the above terms.
