Official title
Evaluation of a Diagnostic Aid Tool for the Management of Vertigo Patients for General Practitioners : A Retrospective, Single-center Study at the Strasbourg University Hospital.
Overview
Consultations for vertigo in general practice are difficult, primarily due to practitioners' lack of experience. Patient referrals can be inaccurate, leading to missed opportunities or misuse of resources. The creation of a diagnostic aid flowchart that provides referrals will improve patient care and reassure general practitioners during consultations for vertigo.
Primary outcome measures
- Percentage of concordance between the diagnosis in the decision tree and the diagnosis made by an ENT (otolaryngologist) physician. [Time frame: Up to 1 year]
