BACKGROUND: Single disciplinary management of patients with vertigo and dizziness is an important challenge for most physicians in China.
OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact of a new paradigm of practice (Clinic for Vertigo and Dizziness, CVD) performed by a multidisciplinary team (MDT) on diagnostic spectrum, medical costs, and patient satisfaction.
DESIGN: Retrospective before-after study.
PARTICIPANTS: Sample of 29,793 patients with vertigo/dizziness as primary complaint.
MEASURES: Changes in diagnostic spectrum, medical costs, and patient satisfaction before and after the establishment of a CVD based on a 4-year database in three tertiary hospitals in northwestern China.
KEY RESULTS: The most common diagnoses of patients with vertigo and dizziness were Meniere's disease (25.77%), cervical disease (25.00%), cerebral vascular disease (13.96%), vestibular syndrome (10.57%), and other etiologies (6.34%) before the CVD establishment. In contrast, after the CVD establishment, the most common diagnoses were BPPV (23.92%), vestibular migraine (15.83%), Meniere's disease (14.22%), CSD/PPPD (11.61%), and cerebral vascular diseases (4.45%). Extended implementation of a structured questionnaire for vertigo/dizziness and vestibular-oriented examinations (nystagmus, positional tests, HINTS) at the CVD resulted in a remarkable decline in the utility of CT/MRI and X-ray examination (p < 0.001). Meanwhile, medical costs in patients with vertigo/dizziness dropped by 11.5% (p < 0.001), with a significant improvement in patient satisfaction after the establishment of CVD (p < 0.001).
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Our study suggested that the MDT paradigm of CVD practice may facilitate the medical management of patients with vertigo/dizziness and improve patient satisfaction.
