NT consultations are frequent and often disrupt physician schedules, requiring physicians to commute in from home after hours in the majority of cases. As procedural and consultation volumes increase, it is crucial to understand the significant burden of call on neurointerventional physicians and develop strategies that reduce the potential for burnout. Importantly, this study was performed prior to the completion of the DAWN and DEFUSE3 trials; NT consultations are expected to continue to increase in the future.
