- Abstract
Introduction: Different test will have different value of sensitivity, because of that we need to examine whether that test will have association or not. Accurate diagnosis usually contributes by the high sensitivity and high specificity of the test tools. For example, the sensitivity of VEMP was higher than CP possibly because both tests measure the status of different vestibular organs (in this case, the saccule of PVD subjects seems to be more affected than the horizontal SCC). To check for this possibility, McNemar categorical analysis was performed to determine whether the two tests had an association or not. In this situation, p values of less than 0.05 demonstrated that there was no association between the tests. Objectives: To determine the association among MVVSS, VEMP, CP and DHT in peripheral vestibular disordered subjects. Design: This is prospective study. Material and Methods: Forty normal and 65 PVD subjects who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were recruited. All of them required to fill the MVSS and underwent VEMP, CP and DHT. Results: VEMP and CP were found to have no association in both sides. In contrast, a significant association was found between VEMP and CP test with MVVSS in both sides. Contrary, there was no association between the Dix-Hallpike test and MVVSS. Conclusion: Further study with larger sample size will have a better outcome and finding that will benefit the clinician and researchers.
