Researchers in Canada receive grant to develop a tool to quickly identify serious causes of dizziness in ERs.

Researchers in Sudbury, Canada, have received a $757,350 grant to develop a tool called the Sudbury Vertigo Risk Score (SVRS) to help emergency doctors quickly identify patients with serious causes of dizziness. Dizziness leads to over 500,000 emergency visits annually in Canada. If the SVRS is validated, it could reduce unnecessary hospital transfers and wait times, ensuring timely specialized care for patients.
