The primary aim of this study was to explore the factors associated with dizziness-related disability one year post-injury. Data from 64 participants (mean age 39.4 [SD 13.0] years; 45 [70.3%] women) with mmTBI from a previous randomised controlled trial were analysed using simple and multiple regression analyses (Clinical Trials Registry #NCT01695577). The Dizziness Handicap Inventory one year (12.1, [SD1.6] months) post-injury was the dependent variable. Demographic and injury-related variables, clinical findings, and measures of post-injury symptoms and functioning (Rivermead Post-Concussion Symptoms Questionnaire, RPQ; Vertigo Symptom Scale-short form, VSS-SF; Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale; Balance Error Scoring System; and High-Level Mobility Assessment Tool, HiMAT) at baseline (3.5 [SD 2.1] months post-injury) were the independent variables. Dizziness-related disability at one year was associated with pre-injury comorbidity, neck pain, higher RPQ, higher VSS-SF, and lower HiMAT scores (adjusted R2 = 0.370, F = 6.52 p &lt; 0.001). In conclusion, the factors associated with dizziness-related disability one year post-injury, such as pre-injury comorbidity, neck pain, increased post-concussion symptom burden, increased dizziness symptom severity, and reduced balance and mobility, should be addressed early in the rehabilitation process to reduce patient burden.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm12165192","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,9]],"date-time":"2023-08-09T10:21:50Z","timestamp":1691576510000},"page":"5192","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Dizziness-Related Disability One Year after a Mild-to-Moderate TBI\u2014A Follow-Up Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Ingerid","family":"Kleffelg\u00e5rd","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Oslo University Hospital, 0424 Oslo, Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3719-4406","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nada","family":"Andelic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Oslo University Hospital, 0424 Oslo, Norway"},{"name":"Center for Habilitation and Rehabilitation Models and Services (CHARM), Institute of Health and Society, Faculty of Medicine, University of Oslo, 0316 Oslo, Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3593-0270","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kari","family":"Bruusgaard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation Science and Health Technology, Faculty of Health Sciences, Oslo Metropolitan University, 0130 Oslo, Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9639-0570","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Birgitta","family":"Langhammer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation Science and Health Technology, Faculty of Health Sciences, Oslo Metropolitan University, 0130 Oslo, Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anne-Lise","family":"Tamber","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation Science and Health Technology, Faculty of Health Sciences, Oslo Metropolitan University, 0130 Oslo, Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Helene","family":"Soberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Oslo University Hospital, 0424 Oslo, Norway"},{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation Science and Health Technology, Faculty of Health Sciences, Oslo Metropolitan University, 0130 Oslo, Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Voormolen, D.C., Haagsma, J.A., Polinder, S., Maas, A.I.R., Steyerberg, E.W., Vulekovic, P., Sewalt, C.A., Gravesteijn, B.Y., Covic, A., and Andelic, N.
