The Real-World Outpatient Practices for First-Time Otorhinolaryngology Patients Presenting with the Chief Complaint of Dizziness
One of the most typical symptoms of patients encountered in outpatient otorhinolaryngology clinics is dizziness. We conducted a study on the real-world outpatient practices for first-time otorhinolaryngology patients presenting with the chief complaint of dizziness, in order to improve the clinical practices and support the education of otorhinolaryngology majors. The subjects of the study were a total of 254 patients who first visited the outpatient otorhinolaryngology departments of one of the eight participant hospitals between August 2018 and July 2019 with the chief complaint of dizziness or related symptoms, such as rotatory vertigo, disorientation, or a floating sensation. Data of the outpatients at their first visit were extracted by a retrospective chart review and using the Dizziness Checklist that was created prior to the data collection.
