AIMS: Validation of the PVSQ self-report questionnaire (diagnosis) and the DHI-PC caregiver report questionnaire (Dizziness Handicap Inventory) aims to improve the management of pediatric vertigo, which is often under-diagnosed.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: The PVSQ and DHI-PC questionnaires were translated according to the Forward-Backward method and presented to a group of patients consulting for dizziness in a referral center and to a control group. A retest was performed at 2weeks for both questionnaires. Statistical validation consisted in calculating discriminatory capacity, ROC curve, reproducibility and internal consistency. The main study objective was the translation and validation of the PVSQ and DHI-PC questionnaires in French. The secondary objectives were to compare results in two subgroups according to the vestibular or non-vestibular etiology of dizziness and to assess the correlation between the two questionnaires.

RESULTS: In total, 112 children, in two comparable groups (53 cases and 59 controls), were included. Mean PVSQ score was 14.62 for cases and 6.55 for controls (P<0.001). Reproducibility was moderate, and internal consistency and construct validity were satisfactory. A cut-off of 11 corresponded to maximum Younden index. Mean DHI-PC score was 41.6 (cases only). Reproducibility was moderate, and internal consistency and construct validity were satisfactory.

CONCLUSION: The validation of the PVSQ and DHI-PC questionnaires offers two new tools in the management of dizziness, for both screening and follow-up.
