The vast majority of vertigo/dizziness sick leave episodes were coded as nonspecific diagnoses and occurred in women. BPPV, a curable vestibular condition, was the most common specific diagnosis. This suggests a potential for improved diagnostics. Women on sick leave due to dizziness/vertigo were younger and more often received nonspecific diagnostic codes. Future studies should determine the frequency of use of evidence based therapies and investigate further the gender differences
