NOTES
We aim to increase neurologists adherence to the Canadian Consensus Guidelines for Diagnosis and Treatment of Autoimmune Encephalitis [12] to:
- Increase complete diagnostic work up for patients with suspected autoimmune encephalitis,
- Reduce delays in diagnosis and initiation of guideline-based treatment in patients with suspected autoimmune encephalitis,
- Reduce unnecessary testing of neuronal autoantibodies.
