Assessment of Vertigo and Dizziness in Individuals Following COVID-19

This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the prevalence of dizziness/vertigo in individuals following COVID-19 and to investigate potential risk factors associated with these symptoms. A total of 296 patients aged 20-66 years who had recovered from COVID-19 were evaluated at Istanbul Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Training and Research Hospital between June 1, 2021, and December 31, 2021. Clinical and demographic data, including COVID-19 history, comorbidities, and symptom characteristics, were collected. Dizziness-related disability was assessed using the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI), while balance performance was evaluated with the Berg Balance Scale (BBS).
