Lost in the Labyrinth: Predicting Central Neurological Causes of Vertigo Dizziness and Unsteadiness in the Emergency Department. A Multicentre Cross-sectional Observational Study
Sponsor: Fondazione IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo di Pavia
Summary
This study will assess the sensitivity and specificity of the bedside examination algorithm performed by ED physicians. Finally, it aims to identify predictors of a central cause of the symptoms. This will consequently reduce the rate of misdiagnosis as well as the costs and length of stay due to inappropriate neuroimaging.
