摘要

据估计,头晕、眩晕和跌倒是各年龄段医生最常听到的第三大主诉,仅次于头痛和下背痛。1 平衡失调可影响人的一生,包括先天性、家族性和后天性疾病。然而,大多数后天疾病引起的症状是 65 岁及以上患者的头号主诉2 。这与害怕跌倒密切相关。鉴于全球老年人群呈指数级增长,这是一个重要且不断增长的人口群体。老年人群还面临着许多并发症,随着跌倒发生率的增加,他们的管理也变得更加复杂。3 本文将回顾未诊断和未治疗前庭平衡疾病的高昂费用,与早期发现、评估和干预所节省的费用,以及耳鼻喉科和听觉前庭医学专家的作用。

The cost of untreated vestibular conditions: the role of otolaryngology & rehabilitation
It is estimated that dizziness, vertigo, and falls are the third most common complaints heard by physicians from all age groups only proceeded by headache and lower back pain.1 Equilibrium disorders can affect individuals throughout the lifespan resulting from congenital, familial to acquired conditions. The symptoms from most acquired conditions, however, are the number one complaint of patients aged 65 years and older.2 This is further demonstrated by the number one fear of older adults is loss of independence and ability to age in place. This is strongly associated with fear of falling. Given the exponential growth of this older cohort group worldwide, this is a significant and growing segment of the population. This older population is also confronted with numerous medical co-morbidities complicating their management with the increased prevalence of falls. This contributes to considerable morbidities and mortality, with balance-related falls being the number one cause of accidental death for this population.3 This paper will review the high cost of undiagnosed and untreated vestibular-balance conditions, versus the cost savings of early detection, assessment and intervention and the role of otolaryngology and audio-vestibular medical specialists.
