Barometric pressure and the incidence of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.

摘要: Abstract Objectives To investigate the relationship between barometric pressure and incidence of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Methods 181 patients diagnosed with classic BPPV seen 2011 2016 were identified. Demographic information, data onset, date presentation recorded. Historical for each 60 months In addition, monthly counts other atmospheric, infectious, allergic variables that time period Correlation analysis compared absolute relative changes in atmospheric conditions. Results The onset demonstrated a statistically significant positive correlation pressure, where every one-unit increase leads to an expected 6.1 diagnoses (p = 0.0008). coefficient (r) was 0.66 (95% CI 0.14–0.90) p-value 0.0131. Other seasonal correlation, though none as strong pressure. Conclusions Barometric has been long associated conditions inner ear, its pathogenesis not investigated. Monthly rather than value, may be responsible observed incidence. These findings demonstrate clear association help explain both etiology possible connection migraine-related
