Abstract

Objective: 


To study clinical characteristics of recurrent BPPV patients and the 5 years disease-free of recurrence in BPPV.


Study design: A retrospective cohort study


Material and Methods: 


Patients who were diagnosed with BPPV from 2008 – 2018 with documented a positive Dix-Hallpike and Supine roll test by otolaryngologists at the outpatient department were retrospectively included.


Results:  


A total of 597 patients were identified. 273 patients (45.7 %) had a recurrence disease with an average age 57.4 ± 13.3 years. The duration of symptoms before diagnosis was 5(3,14) days. Almost all patients had the same ear recurrence and the most recurrent site was the right posterior semicircular canal. The median time to recurrence was 6.8 months. About 42.3 % of the patients had a disease-free in 12 months, 29.7% in 2 years, 19.5 % in 3 years, 13.8 % in 4 years, and 10.8% in 5 years. Many associated diseases for example hypertension, dyslipidemia, Meniere disease were not related to the recurrence. The strongly associated factors were female sex, the clinical presentation of disequilibrium comparing with vertigo, positional change association, a number of treatment sessions until objectively negative DHT more than 3 times, and the shorter interval of a recurrent episode.


Conclusion:                                                  


The clinical characteristics of recurrent disease were female sex, clinical presentation as disequilibrium, positional change association on an episode, a number of treatment sessions until objectively negative DixHall-pike more than 3 times, and the interval of recurrent episode less than 14 days 


Keywords: benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, recurrence pattern
