The authors created The Sudbury Vertigo Risk Score for ED patients presenting with vertigo that may better identify those at risk for serious neurologic conditions like stroke. The scoring system has remarkable sensitivity for serious neurolgic pathology, but it has yet to be validated.
The previously derived Sudbury Vertigo Risk Score was validated with a new cohort, and low scores accurately identified patients as low risk and therefore not requiring further investigation or treatment for a serious diagnosis of vertigo.
