Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common cause of peripheral vestibular dysfunction.
To assess whether the performance of the Dix-Hallpike maneuver after the Epley positioning maneuver has prognostic value in the evolution of unilateral ductolithiasis of posterior semicircular canal.
A prospective cohort study in monitored patients at otoneurology ambulatory with a diagnosis of BPPV; they were submitted to the therapeutic maneuver and then to a retest in order to evaluate the treatment effectiveness; all cases were reassessed one week later and the retest prognostic value was evaluated.
A sample of 64 patients which 47 belonging to negative retest group and 17 belonging to positive retest. Performed the maneuver in all patients, the retest presented 51.85% sensitivity, 91.89% specificity, 82.35% positive predictive value and 72.34% negative predictive value.
The study shows that doing the retest after repositioning maneuver of particles in BPPV is effectual, since it has high specificity.
良性阵发性位置性眩晕(BPPV)是外周前庭功能障碍最常见的原因。
评估 Epley 定位手法后 Dix-Hallpike 手法的表现对后半规管单侧管结石症演变的预后价值。
一项前瞻性队列研究,监测在耳神经科门诊诊断为 BPPV 的患者;他们接受了治疗性手法,然后进行了复测,以评估治疗效果;所有病例均在一周后进行了重新评估,并评估了复测的预后价值。
共有 64 名患者,其中 47 名患者的复测结果为阴性,17 名患者的复测结果为阳性。所有患者均进行了该手法,复测的敏感性为 51.85%,特异性为 91.89%,阳性预测值为 82.35%,阴性预测值为 72.34%。
该研究表明,在 BPPV 中重新定位颗粒后进行复测是有效的,因为它具有很高的特异性。
