Abstract
Objective: The present study was to examine seasonal distribution
of vertigo and to retrospectively investigate the correlations between vertigo
and climatic variables in a region, where continental climate is dominant.
Method: Fifty two cases, who applied to our clinic with the complaint of vertigo
in between July 2015 and June 2017 and were diagnosed with peripheral vertigo,
were included in the study. Meteorological parameters were obtained from YYY weather
station.
Results: When examining the distribution of
the cases by seasons; it was determined that although the number of cases
increased in the autumn months. A statistically significant correlation also
was not determined between seasonal parameters evaluated and vertigo
(p>0.05). When regression analysis individually was performed in terms of
causality between climatic parameters and vertigo, the causality in all
variables, except for the minimum air temperature during the period of
evaluation, was found to be significant.
When the difference between sudden
short term changes in seasonal variables and the values identified on the day
of episode was evaluated, there was a statistically significant difference for
all parameters of evaluation except for precipitation (p<0.05).
Conclusions: The results of the study revealed
that the number of cases increased in the months when seasonal changes with
distinct differences of temperature occurred. The results of the related
studies in the literature are different from each other. Therefore, we have
concluded that it is possible to evaluate clearly the correlation between
climatic parameters and vertigo only with studies involving different climatic
regions.
