Emerging Issues in Neurology documents are intended to provide guidance from a panel of expert authors about new or emerging issues that have immediate implications for the care of patients with neurological disorders. These documents are different from clinical practice guidelines and Evidence in Focus products as outlined in the table below.

EIN articles are published by the AAN and its affiliates to provide timely and informal guidance (derived from expert consensus opinion) to neurologists about new or emerging issues that have immediate implications for patient care, but for which a formal evidence base is still evolving. The information in an EIN article (1) should not be considered inclusive of all proper treatments or methods of care, (2) does not represent a statement of the standard of care, (3) is not continually updated, (4) does not mandate any specific course of medical care, (5) is not the result of a systematic review, and (6) is not intended to replace the independent professional judgment of the treating provider. In all cases, decisions about patient care should be considered in the context of treating the individual patient. Use of the information is voluntary.
