Abstract
Introduction
This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and psychometric properties of vertigo and dizziness in an obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) population.
Methods
Five hundred and twelve OSA patients and 53 controls were enroled. All eligible subjects were asked to complete the basic information questionnaire, the Chinese version of Vestibular Disorders Activities of Daily Living (VADL-C), the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) and the Activities-Specific Balance Confidence (ABC) scale.
Results
Among 512 enroled OSA patients, a 22.46% (115) prevalence of vertigo and dizziness was found. The scores of the VADL-C, DHI and ABC of the study group were significantly worse (p < .001) than those of the control group, while the abnormal rates of the three scales in the study group were higher than those of the control group. In the study group, the results of the VADL-C were correlated with those of the DHI (r = .55, p < .001) and inversely correlated with those of the ABC (r = −.50, p < .001), and the results of the DHI were inversely correlated with those of the ABC (r = −.60, p < .001).
Conclusions
A high prevalence of vertigo and dizziness in the OSA population was detected. Psychometric results showed that vertigo and dizziness in OSA patients led to changes in activities of daily living, increased frequency of somatic symptoms, and reduced balance confidence. In the diagnosis and treatment of OSA patients, the occurrence of vertigo and dizziness is worth clinicians' attention.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Otolaryngology is a bimonthly journal devoted to clinically-oriented research papers of the highest scientific standards dealing with:
current otorhinolaryngological practice
audiology, otology, balance, rhinology, larynx, voice and paediatric ORL
head and neck oncology
head and neck plastic and reconstructive surgery
continuing medical education and ORL training
The emphasis is on high quality new work in the clinical field and on fresh, original research.
Each issue begins with an editorial expressing the personal opinions of an individual with a particular knowledge of a chosen subject. The main body of each issue is then devoted to original papers carrying important results for those working in the field. In addition, topical review articles are published discussing a particular subject in depth, including not only the opinions of the author but also any controversies surrounding the subject.
• Negative/null results
In order for research to advance, negative results, which often make a valuable contribution to the field, should be published. However, articles containing negative or null results are frequently not considered for publication or rejected by journals. We welcome papers of this kind, where appropriate and valid power calculations are included that give confidence that a negative result can be relied upon.
