Key Points
- Previous studies have linked recurrent or persistent BPPV to age,
anxiety or/and depression and medical comorbidity
- Factors such as the socioeconomical status have not been assessed.
- In our retrospective powered cohort we showed that there is a positive
correlation between recurrent or persistent BPPV and age
- We found no correlation with the presence of underlying
anxiety/depression and recurrent or persistent BPPV and age.
- While one would have expected that the socioeconomical and educational
status would have had an impact on recurrent/persistent BPPV, using
the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation, we did not identify such
link.
