Objectives: The main objective is to evaluate the frequency and justification of the usage of neuroradiological imaging diagnostic tests. Also, we want to gain knowledge about the basic characteristics (diagnosis, age and gender) of patients with headache. The research refers to the Clinic for Neurology of University Hospital of Split. The period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 was studied. Materials and methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted. Data were collected on all patients registered in the protocol book of the Emergency Neurological Admission under the diagnoses of G43, G44 and R51 according to the ICD-10 classification. Data were then collected from the discharge letters of patients hospitalized because of headache. The mentioned data have been statistically processed. Data were then collected from the discharge letters of patients hospitalized for headache. Results: A total of 1,368 patients with headache were worked up. 84 (6.14%) of them were hospitalized. Of the total number of patients, 63.01% were women, while among those hospitalized, their percentage was 60.71%. The median age of all patients with headache was 43 years (IQR=32.0-59.0), while the median age among hospitalized patients was 56 years (IQR=39.5-67.5). Among hospitalized patients, the age group between 66-75 is the most common. At the age of 50, statistically significantly more women were worked up and hospitalized because of headaches than men. After the age of fifty, the statistical significance of the difference in distribution by gender is lost. A total of 307 (22.44%) patients were worked up neuroradiologically. Conclusions: Neuroradiological examinations were not performed in a larger number of patients than recommended according to the "SNNOOP10" guidelines. Most hospitalized patients had secondary headache. Most of the hospitalized patients are people in the age groups older than 55. Women are more often diagnosed and hospitalized because of headaches than men.
