Neurotoxicology: Clinical Approach and Causal Inference

Mam Ibraheem et al. Neurol Clin. 2020 Nov.

Abstract

Clinical neurotoxicology is an unrecognized neurologic subspecialty. Few neurology residency programs offer an organized education or training in the field. Nevertheless, neurotoxic exposures and subsequent injuries are common. This article provides a basic approach to clinical assessment and causal inference. It addresses the knowledge gap for clinical practice and provides a thematic structure to use interdisciplinary resources.

Keywords: Causality; Epidemiology; Evidence-based toxicology; Neurology; Toxicology.
