Objective
To explore the clinical practicality of the dizziness handicap inventory (DHI) in the Mandarin Chinese-speaking population and compare patients’ and physicians’ assessments of the impact of dizziness on the quality of life using the DHI. Design Prospective cross-sectional. Study sample Overall, 144 consecutive patients aged ≥ 18 years seeking treatment for dizziness in an Ear-Nose-Throat clinic in China. Results Some items in the DHI could not be completed by both patients (46/144, 31.9%) and physicians (26/144, 18.1%). In fully completed DHIs (98/144, 68.1%), the patients’ self-assessment scores were higher than the physicians’ assessment scores (average 44.04 ± 21.38 vs 35.94 ± 16.99; p Conclusions The clinical practicality of the DHI in such settings requires improvement. Even though physician interviews can increase the degree of questionnaire completion, not all items can be completed. Although the physicians’ assessment scores were lower than the patients’ self-assessment scores, the majority of the discordancy scores were within the MDC of the DHI. |
