Validation of a comprehensive diagnostic algorithm for patients with acute vertigo and dizziness

Abstract: Background and purpose Vertigo and dizziness are common complaints in emergency departments and primary care, and pose major diagnostic challenges due to their various underlying etiologies. Most supportive diagnostic algorithms concentrate on either identifying cerebrovascular events (CVEs) or diagnosing specific vestibular disorders or are restricted to specific patient subgroups. The aim of the present study was to develop and validate a comprehenisve algorithm for identifying patients with CVE and classify… Show more

“…Since MR could not fully elucidate central lesions in the acute setting, misdiagnosed patients may have increased stroke risk in the peripheral vertigo group. Studies based on clinical specifics in the evaluation of ED patients with acute vertigo are expected to provide a clear answer [29, 30]. Thirdly, the ischaemic stroke group had undergone systematic risk evaluation and secondary prevention, but the other groups would probably have not.…”

“…However, with sensitivity values as low as 34.7% for vestibular migraine, its use can only be considered complementary. Novel app-based diagnostic algorithms are currently under development for application in general practice, which have proven to have a high sensitivity for detecting vestibular stroke and a high specificity to correctly diagnose the most frequent non-vascular vestibular disorders in the hospital setting of acute vertigo or dizziness ( 20 ).…”

“…Der diagnostische Goldstandard besteht in einer genauen anamnestischen Erfassung des zeitlichen Beginns, der Trigger, nicht vestibulären Begleitsymptome, der strukturierten klinischen Untersuchung der vestibulären und okulomotorischen Systeme, der quantitativen Erfassung des Kopfimpulstests mittels Videookulografie (VOG) und der zielgerichteten Durchführung einer zerebralen Bild-gebung [4,[14][15][16]. Aufgrund der Vielfältigkeit symptomatischer Präsentationen beruht die finale Diagnose eines akuten zentralen vestibulären Syndroms in der Regel auf der Kombination verschiedener Befunde.…”

“…Mögliche Begleitsymptome des akuten Schwindels wie eine Parese, Sensibilitätsstörung, Doppelbilder, Extremitäten-/Rumpfataxie oder Dysarthrie haben eine hohe Sensitivität für einen zugrun-de liegenden Schlaganfall [16]. Allerdings können diese Symptome und Zeichen insbesondere bei zerebellären Schlaganfällen auch fehlen (z.…”
