A study investigated the prevalence of vestibular disorders in patients with COVID-19 compared to those without the virus using data from the National COVID Cohort Collaborative database.
Results showed that individuals with COVID-19 were significantly more likely to experience vestibular disorders, with the highest risk associated with the omicron 23A variant (OR of 8.80).
The findings underscore the need for further research on the long-term effects of vestibular disorders in COVID-19 patients and implications for patient counseling.
