Prediction of handicap and emotional distress in patients with recurrent vertigo: Symptoms, coping strategies, control beliefs and reciprocal causation

Variables Associated With Outcome in Patients With Unilateral Vestibular Hypofunction

“…Other studies have identified somatization, negative mood, dissatisfaction with social support, poor self-esteem, and anxiety as factors that contribute to perceived disability in patients with dizziness. 34-36 The only relationship we found, however, was the patient’s perception of how much symptoms interfered with activities before rehabilitation, and the presence of either depression or anxiety were independently related to the patient’s perception of the PSIL at discharge. This relationship was very strong, and these 2 baseline measures together accounted for almost 62% of the variance.…”

Gender differences in patients with dizziness and unsteadiness regarding self-perceived disability, anxiety, depression, and its associations

“…The strongest associations were found between self-perceived disability and anxiety and depression. This association was described in numerous previous studies as mentioned in the introduction [1-8]. We estimated in both genders not only the Spearman correlation coefficients between the DHI-G and HADS but also the associations of the dichotomous variables assessing anxiety respectively depression and self-rated disability.…”

Literature Review of Questionnaires Assessing Vertigo and Dizziness, and Their Impact on Patients' Quality of Life

“…Table 2 presents the 10 questionnaires identified in the 29 articles: four QoL or handicap [1,11–25], three mixed [5,26,27], and two symptomatic [2,28–33] questionnaires were identified plus one Meniere's disease‐specific questionnaire [34,35]. Validation scores obtained from the PRO‐specific checklist (Table 1) ranged between 36 and 77 (Fig.…”

“…The VSS is the only questionnaire for which predictive validity has been reported. A study of 101 patients found that high AU and SOM scores at baseline were predictive of increased handicap (VHQ) 7 months later [30]. Responsiveness data are limited [28,32].…”
