Little is known about its impact on patients. OBJECTIVE: The goal of this study was to analyze the symptomology, epidemiology and impact of PPPD on patients. METHODS: A retrospective chart review was done to identify patients who attended the Multidisciplinary Dizziness Clinic (MDC) and were diagnosed with PPPD. Responses to demographic questions, health-related quality of life surveys and several well-validated questionnaires commonly used to assess dizziness severity were analyzed. RESULTS: One hundred patients were diagnosed with PPPD between March 2017 and January 2019, of which 80%(80\/100) were females. The average Dizziness Handicap Index score was 60.3\u00b119.0. Responses to the Patient Health Questionnaire classified 53 patients (53\/99;53.5%) as moderately to severely depressed. Sixty-four patients (64\/100;64.0%) were minimally or mildly anxious according to the Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale. The average Vertigo Symptom Scale score was 24.1\/60. The average Situational Vertigo Questionnaire score was 2.00. Forty-nine (49\/100;49.0%) patients had migraine symptoms according to the Migraine Screen Questionnaire. CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, patients with PPPD display important handicap and an elevated risk of depression, anxiety and migraines.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/ves-190749","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,15]],"date-time":"2021-06-15T14:10:04Z","timestamp":1623766204000},"page":"285-293","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Characteristics
