[Study on the serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo patients].

Objective:To study whether serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D can be used as an independent indicator of prognosis in patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. Method:Two hundred and two patients with BPPV were collected and divided into vitamin D deficiency group and control group according to their serum 25-OHD level. The severity of the symptoms and the recurrence rate were compared between the two groups. Result:Compared with the control group, patients with vitamin D deficiency group showed severer symptoms, either in longer duration of vertigo, lower success rate of repositioning maneuver treatment at the first time, or higher recurrence rate within six months. Conclusion:Serum 25-OHD level was negatively correlated with the severity and prognosis of BPPV, and could be used as an important index to evaluate the prognosis of BPPV.
