Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Dizziness-related impairment, as measured by the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI).
Health related quality of life, as measured by the SF-36.
Incidence of falls, as measured with a fall calendar.
Secondary outcome
Anxiety or depression, as measured by the PRIME-MD Patient Health Questionnaire
(PHQ).
Dizziness frequence, as measured by a dizziness calendar.
Health care utilization, as measured by extracted data from the electronic medical records of all participants.
Background summary
N/A
Study objective
A risk-factor guided approach is more effective than usual care when treating dizziness in older patients in general practice.
Study design
Baseline: questionnaires previously sent by mail and standardized baseline assessment during home visits.
3-months/6-months/9-months/12-months: questionnaire sent by mail.
Intervention
The patients assigned to the intervention group will receive – in addition to usual care as described below – a targeted
intervention, consisting of a standardized intervention protocol for the risk factors ‘FRID (fall-risk-increasing drugs’, ‘anxiety and/or depression’, and ‘impaired functional mobility’.
