Patients attending an outpatient clinic with the complaint of dizziness were given a set of five items to rank the magnitude of the frequency and severity of their dizziness and the impact of dizziness on their quality of life. They were given instruments to evaluate their degree of anxiety and depression. The impact of frequency and severity on the patients' daily activities, on the quality of life, and on the fear of becoming dizzy was self-rated by the patient. The score on quality of life was compared with that provided by the physician in a blind questionnaire. The items that were developed addressed the physical, functional, and emotional impact of dizziness and can be considered promising for the evaluation of the patients' degree of overall impairment.
前往门诊就诊且主诉为头晕的患者被给予一组五项内容，用于对其头晕的频率、严重程度以及头晕对其生活质量的影响程度进行排序。他们还被给予评估焦虑和抑郁程度的工具。患者自行评估频率和严重程度对其日常活动、生活质量以及对头晕恐惧的影响。生活质量得分与医生在一份盲法问卷中给出的得分进行比较。所制定的这些项目涉及头晕的身体、功能和情感影响，可被视为有望用于评估患者总体受损程度。
