Objective: To compare the clinical characteristics and treatment results of different clinical types of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Methods: A total of 162 patients diagnosed with BPPV between January 2019 to January 2021 at EMJJ ENT Hospital's vestibular laboratory in Mongolia were included in our study. The diagnosis of BPPV was made according to the 2017 AAO-HNS clinical practice guideline for BPPV. Clinical questionnaires, Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) questionnaires, and videonystgamography were obtained for all patients. Results: From a total of 162 patients diagnosed as BPPV, 62.4% had posterior canal BPPV, 27.1% had horizontal canal BPPV, and 10.5% had anterior canal BPPV. Fischer's exact test showed a higher incidence on the right side (p = 0.000). The mean age 50 ± 11.7; the male to female ratio 1:4. When the relationship between the effectiveness and duration of the treatment was assessed, 123 (75.9%) recovered after 7 days. DHI score after treatment signi cantly after treatment (p = 0.000) regardless of the clinical type. Conclusions: Patients who had a longer duration of symptoms underwent unnecessary diagnostic tests and developed additional psychologic problems. There were no statistically signi cant differences when we compared the characteristics and treatment between the three clinical types of BPPV.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
