Developing a predictive model for vertigo using demographic and laboratory data: An evidence-based medicine approach.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:The aim of this double-blind, randomized, multicenter study was to compare the efficacy of betahistine dihydrochloride (BH) and flunarizine (FL) using the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI), a validated self-assessment questionnaire that has not previously been used in a clinical trial to evaluate antivertigo...
