ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Determine how positive BPPV findings in adolescents and young adults following concussion impacted the total number of treatments required and time until discharge. SETTING: Outpatient physical therapy clinic. PARTICIPANTS: 167 individuals who were diagnosed with concussion or brain injury. DESIGN: Retrospective chart review. MAIN MEASURES: Total number of treatments and days until discharge were compared for various BPPV diagnoses (anterior canal, posterior canal, horizontal canal, and combination) and for individuals with and without BPPV. RESULTS: Fifty-one out of 167 cases (30.54%) were diagnosed with BPPV. The total number of treatments provided was statistically different across BPPV diagnoses (P = .004). However, days until discharge were not statistically different between BPPV diagnoses (P = .28). There was no significant difference between time to discharge between those with BPPV (median = 21 days, range = 7-126) and those without (median = 28 days, range = 7-84 days; P = .23, r = 0.09). CONCLUSION: To optimize outcomes, including symptom resolution and return to sport and/or work, early identification of BPPV and subsequent intervention should be prioritized for individuals who have concussion symptoms that suggest vestibular dysfunction.

ABSTRACT

Risk for transmission of monkeypox virus (MPXV) (clade IIb) to healthcare workers (HCWs) is low. Although many cases have been reported among HCW, only a few have been occupationally acquired. We report a case of non-needle stick MPXV transmission to an HCW in the United States.
