Ohle R et al. Development of a clinical risk score to risk stratify for a serious cause of vertigo in patients presenting to the emergency department. Ann Emerg Med. DOI: 10.1016/j.annemergmed.2024.06.003. PMID: 39093245. Table 2: male 1, age over 65 years 1, diabetes 1, hypertension 3, motor or sensory deficit 5, cerebellar 6, clinical BPPV diagnosis −5. A serious diagnosis (stroke, TIA, vertebral artery dissection, or brain tumor) occurred in 0% below 5 points, 2.1% at 5 through 8, and 41% above 8. The same points are reprinted in van Patot ET et al. Acad Emerg Med. 2025. PMID: 40070159, Table 1, whose footnote defines cerebellar as diplopia, dysarthria, dysphagia, dysmetria, or ataxia. (2025)
