DHI-G indicates Dizziness Handicap Inventory - German version (Score: 0 - 100), F female, HADS Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, HADS-A anxiety subscale (Score: 0 - 21), HADS-D depression subscale of the HADS (Score: 0 - 21), IQR interquartil range, M male, SD standard deviation

An adjustment of the significance value was calculated: alpha/n; n = number of comparisons; alpha = 0.05: corrected significance level: 0.05/8 = 0.00626.
