In the period between 2016 and 2021, a total of 120,774 individuals aged \u2265\u200918\u2009years were diagnosed with peripheral vestibulopathy for the first time. Using propensity\u2010score matching based on sociodemographic characteristics and comorbidities, a control group of 483,096 people without peripheral vestibulopathy was chosen. Adjusted odds ratios (aORs) for the relationship between peripheral vestibulopathy and prior AF were calculated using multivariable logistic regression.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      This study revealed that individuals with peripheral vestibulopathy had a substantially greater prevalence of previous AF than controls (1.53% vs. 1.28%;\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001).

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (aOR\u2009=\u20091.189, 95% CI\u2009=\u20091.045\u20131.352) and other\/unspecified forms of peripheral vestibulopathy (aOR\u2009=\u20091.277, 95% CI\u2009=\u20091.199\u20131.360) among peripheral vestibulopathy subtypes showed a significant association.
