ObjectivesThis study aims to develop a prognostic model, based on the video Head Impulse Test (vHIT)-Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex (VOR) gain, of vestibular loss after an acute Unilateral Vestibulopathy (aUVP) predicting the probability of an objective and significant recovery.DesignData gathered prospectively in patients with aUVP were re-analyzed....
✦ Clinical Takeaway ✦
Clinicians assessing acute unilateral vestibulopathy may gain prognostic value from this PROBIT model using vHIT VOR gain data, but external validation in independent cohorts is needed before routine adoption.
✦ Why It Matters ✦
A validated prognostic tool for vestibular recovery could help audiologists and balance specialists tailor rehabilitation intensity and set realistic patient expectations.
✦ Key Points ✦
- 01A multivariate PROBIT model was developed to predict recovery probability from acute unilateral vestibulopathy (sudden one-sided inner-ear balance loss).
