Effect of Vitamin D Deficiency on Incidence and Relapse of Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo.

Key Points

To investigate the relationship between vitamin D deficiency and the incidence and relapse of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV).
Observational study of patients with BPPV assessing vitamin D levels
Comparison of relapse rates between low and normal vitamin D levels
Evaluation of relapse frequency after vitamin D correction
High incidence of vitamin D deficiency found among patients with BPPV
Patients with low vitamin D levels exhibited higher relapse rates of BPPV
Correction of vitamin D levels significantly reduced the frequency of relapses

Abstract

This study demonstrates a high incidence of vitamin D deficiency among patients with BPPV. Also, patients with low vitamin D levels have higher rate of relapse of BPPV, and correction of vitamin D levels leads to a decrease in relapse frequency.
