Abstract

Objectives

The aim of this study is to identify risk factors for residual dizziness in benign paroxysmal positional vertigo patients after repositioning manoeuvres and explore the mediation role of lipid indicators.

Methodology

In all, 110 benign paroxysmal positional vertigo patients treated from January 2019 to February 2022 were studied. Data on demographics, diseases, behaviours, and lipids were collected. Multivariate logistic regression assessed risk factors, and mediation analyses explored effects via lipid indicators. Odds ratios and 95 per cent confidence intervals are reported.

Results

Differences between groups with and without residual dizziness included limb weakness, hypertension, nausea, arteriosclerosis, medication, dizziness handicap inventory scores, hospital anxiety and depression scale scores, and lipid distributions (p < 0.05). Significant risk factors were sleep disorders, medication, hypertension, triglycerides, and total cholesterol (p < 0.05). Total cholesterol mediated 9.1 per cent of the effect of sleep disorders on residual dizziness.

Conclusion

Managing lipid levels and sleep disorders is crucial in treating residual dizziness in benign paroxysmal positional vertigo patients after repositioning.
