Evaluation of a questionnaire as a screening tool for benign paroxysmal position vertigo.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo determine the value of a questionnaire as a screening tool for benign paroxysmal position vertigo (BPPV). STUDY
designRetrospective chart review.
settingTertiary care centers.
methodsA total of 520 vertigo adults completed the questionnaire before the diagnosis was confirmed. After vestibular function examination and other diagnostic examination, the diagnosis of all participants was confirmed by experts. By validating valuable items from the questionnaire with 47 items, a new questionnaire of 5 items was formed to quickly diagnose BPPV. The internal consistency of the new questionnaire and validity were evaluated. The correlation between the score obtained from the new questionnaire and diagnosis was investigated. The mean score was also compared between groups with and without BPPV and diagnostic precision measures were calculated.
results520 vertigo participants answered all the question completely and BPPV was identified in 138 participants (26.5%). The responses to questionnaire revealed preferable reproducibility (r = 0.898, P < 0.05) and internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.702) as well as the validity (Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin, KMO = 0.731). The higher the individual score, the more likely to be BPPV (B = 2.082; P < 0.05). The mean score of answers was greater in the group with a clinical diagnosis of BPPV compared to those without BPPV (F = 58.459, P < 0.05). The sensitivity of the screening tool was 92.8% and specificity was 88.5%, with an area under the ROC curve of 0.946 (95% confidence interval 0.926-0.965; P < 0.05).
conclusionThe questionnaire proved to be of great value to screen for individuals with possible BPPV.
