Background:

Physician burnout is a significant global challenge, exacerbated by job stressors, heavy workloads, and lack of support or autonomy.
Neurology is a medical specialty characterized by high burnout rates and low work-life satisfaction among its practitioners.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate global burnout prevalence among neurologists.
To identify the assessment tools utilized for measuring burnout in this specialty.

Main Methods:

A systematic review and meta-analysis of 14 articles was conducted.
Burnout prevalence and assessment tools were analyzed across studies from 6 countries.
The Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) was the most frequently used assessment tool.

Main Results:

Global burnout prevalence among neurologists ranged from 18.1% to 94%, with a mean of 65.9% when assessed by the MBI.
Burnout rates varied by country, but a significant proportion of neurologists globally reported burnout.
No significant differences in burnout rates were found between residents and attending physicians.

Conclusions:

A substantial number of neurologists worldwide experience burnout, irrespective of training level.
Variability in assessment tools and cutoffs complicates direct comparisons across studies.
Findings underscore the urgent need for targeted strategies to mitigate burnout in neurology.
