Overview

Retrospective cohort analysis reveals 24.8% of patients report preoperative anxiety, highlighting vestibular symptoms as significant risk factors.

Key Points

  • Nearly one in four patients with vestibular schwannoma experienced clinically relevant preoperative anxiety.
  • Logistic regression analysis identified vertigo and facial paralysis as key predictors of preoperative anxiety.
  • HADS-A scores indicated that emotional distress is tied to vestibular and auditory symptom perceptions.
  • Routine psychological screening before surgery is essential, especially for patients with subjective hearing loss.
