Resumen

Objectives: The knowledge of the expected attention load and the epidemiology of the patients that come to the specialized otoneurology consultation with vestibular alterations or instability as well as its initial presentation form. Methods: A descriptive transversal study of patients who come for the first time to the otoneurology unit in 2017 at the Complejo Hospitalario de Jaén. Resultados: 94 patients (50 women and 44 men) with a mean age of 53 ± 11 years were referred. During that year, 37.9 patients per 100,000 inhabitants were evaluated. Patients were referred for general otolaryngology unit. The most frequent diagnosis was benign paroxysmal positional vertigo and Ménière's disease with 27.6% each of them followed by chronic subjective dizziness with 22.34%, finally 15.96% of the patients had suffered a vestibular neuritis and only 6.38% had vestibular migraine. Conclusions:It is important to know the prevalence and characteristics of these patients in order to carry out a correct health planning in our study area and appropriate response to the expected care demand in the community.
