Abstract
Objective
To investigate the utilization and demographic characteristics of in-hospital rehabilitation
for patients with acute vestibular neuritis using the Japan Medical Data Center (JMDC)
database.
Methods
We gathered information on patients that were at least 20 years of age who were admitted
with a diagnosis of VN (ICD-10 code: H81.2). We defined in-hospital rehabilitation
service use as payment of insurance claims for at least one session of rehabilitation
during admission.
Results
We identified 809 patients that were eligible for this study; among these, 59 patients
(7.3%) received rehabilitation while 750 patients did not. The median total time spent
and the median time per day in inpatient rehabilitation were 140 min and 11.7 min,
respectively. Factors that significantly affected the rehabilitation service use,
in order of greater odds, were primary care, internal medicine, and age in multivariate
logistic regression analysis (odds ratio = 4.42, 2.17, 1.33, respectively).
Conclusions
This study showed that (1) utilization of rehabilitation services by acute patients
with VN was low; and (2) age, admission to internal medicine, and admission to primary
care were associated with the use of rehabilitation services.
