Abstract
BACKGROUND: We aimed to analyze the independent risk factors that affect the treatment outcomes of residual symptoms of cured benign paroxysmal positional vertigoand to construct a nomogram model. METHODS: A total of 186 benign paroxysmal positional vertigo patients who were treated in our hospital from June 2019 to August 2021 were selected. According to whether there were residual symptoms, they were divided into a group with residual symptoms (n=82) and a group without residual symptoms (n = 104). The logistic regression model was used to analyze the independent risk factors affecting the treatment outcomes, and the results were incorporated into R software to establish a nomogram model for verification. RESULTS: The incidence rate of residual symptoms in the 186 patients was 44.09% (82/186). Logistic regression analysis showed that age, course of disease, number of maneuvers, anxiety state, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension were independent risk factors affecting the treatment outcomes of residual symptoms after cured benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the nomogram model was 0.938. The calibration curve was fitted well (χ2 = 8.165, P = .417). CONCLUSION: The nomogram model constructed based on age, course of disease, number of maneuvers, anxiety state, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension had a high predictive value for the treatment outcomes of residual symptoms in benign paroxysmal positional vertigo patients.
