Description
Anonymized patient data from the UCLouvain Vertigo International Survey (UVIS) investigating vestibular disorders. The dataset combines sociodemographic, clinical, patient-reported, and clinician-reported vestibular assessment data from centers in Belgium, France, and the United States. It was authored by Emilie Lacroix and last updated on April 30, 2026.
Use Cases
Clustering patient symptom profiles based on sociodemographic, clinical, and behavioral variables.
Investigating correlations between subjective disability scores (DHI) and objective vestibular impairment classifications.
Analyzing the relationship between psychological factors (HADS) and vestibular test outcomes.
Conducting multivariate analyses to identify predictors of patient-reported handicap or activity limitation.
Strengths
Includes data from a multicenter international study conducted in Belgium, France, and the United States.
Combines multiple data types: sociodemographic, clinical, patient-reported outcomes (DHI, HADS, NVI), and clinician-reported vestibular assessments.
Vestibular data are coded using clinician-based categorical classifications to ensure cross-center comparability.
Dataset is fully anonymized and provided under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
Limitations
Missing data may occur due to variability in test availability across clinical centers.
