Persistent BPPV
Spearman’s correlations were run between certain factors, namely the presence or not of persistent BPPV and age, age group (in decades), SIMD and the presence of anxiety/ depression.
There was a statistically significant correlation between age and having persistent BPPV (t = -2.0008, df = 74.103, p-value = 0.04907).
There was no statistically significant correlation between SIMD and having persistent BPPV (t = -0.33008, df = 17.56, p-value = 0.7452).
There was no statistically significant correlation between having a diagnosis of depression or anxiety and having persistent BPPV (t = -1.5135, df = 121.14, p-value = 0.1328).
