Figures & Tables

Figure 1

COMQ-12 ROC curve.Commentary: The area under the ROC curve (0.987) signifies outstanding diagnostic accuracy. A threshold score of 7 was determined to distinguish between chronic otitis media and a healthy ear. The ROC curve was created by plotting PCOMQ-12 and CTCOMQ-12.

Figure 2

DHI ROC curve.Commentary: The area under the ROC curve (0.999) signifies outstanding diagnostic accuracy. A threshold score of 9 was determined for the recognition of vertigo. The ROC curve was created by plotting PTDHI and CDHI.

Figure 3

NVI ROC curve.Commentary: The area under the ROC curve (0.781) signifies acceptable diagnostic accuracy. A threshold score of 56 was determined for the recognition of vertigo. The ROC curve was created by plotting PTNVI and CNVI.

Figure 4

THI ROC curve.Commentary: The area under the ROC curve (1.000) signifies perfect diagnostic accuracy. A threshold score of 7 was determined for the recognition of tinnitus. The ROC curve was created by plotting PTHI and CTTHI.
