๐ Background
Vertigo is a common yet complex symptom that can arise from various underlying conditions. Traditional diagnostic methods often rely on subjective assessments and can lead to misdiagnosis. The integration of artificial intelligence into clinical practice presents an opportunity to enhance diagnostic accuracy and streamline patient care.
๐๏ธ Study
This study aimed to develop a robust machine learning model for the detection and classification of vertigo. Researchers extracted relevant clinical symptoms and laboratory test results from electronic medical records, which were then used to train the model. The study focused on two primary tasks: distinguishing BPPV from non-BPPV and further classifying non-BPPV patients into specific conditions.
๐ Results
The XGBoost model outperformed traditional diagnostic methods, achieving a sensitivity of 98.32%, an accuracy of 87.03%, and an AUC of 0.947 in Task 1. In Task 2, the model demonstrated impressive sensitivity and precision across various conditions, with 100.0% sensitivity for Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss accompanied by Vertigo.
๐ Impact and Implications
The findings from this study could revolutionize the approach to diagnosing vertigo-related diseases. By leveraging machine learning, healthcare providers can achieve more accurate diagnoses, leading to timely and appropriate treatment. This is particularly crucial in resource-limited settings where access to specialized care may be restricted.
๐ฎ Conclusion
The development of this machine learning model marks a significant advancement in the diagnostic capabilities for vertigo diseases. With its high sensitivity and accuracy, the model not only enhances clinical decision-making but also holds promise for improving patient outcomes. Continued research and validation of such technologies are essential for their integration into routine clinical practice.

Development and Validation of a Machine Learning Model for Detection and Classification of Vertigo.
Abstract
PURPOSE: This study aims to investigate whether artificial intelligence can improve the diagnostic accuracy of vertigo related diseases.
EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Based on the clinical guidelines, clinical symptoms and laboratory test results were extracted from electronic medical records as variables. These variables were then input into a machine learning diagnostic model for classification and diagnosis. This study encompasses two primary objectives: Task 1 to distinguish between patients with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) and non-BPPV. In Task 2, further classifying non-BPPV patients into Mรฉniรจre’s Disease (MD), Vestibular Migraine (VM), and Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss accompanied by Vertigo (SSNHLV). The sensitivity, precision, and area under the curve (AUC) metric is primarily used to assess the performance of the machine learning model development phase in a prospective validation cohort.
RESULTS: In our study, 1789 patients were recruited as the training cohort and 1148 patients as the prospective validation cohort. The comprehensive diagnostic performance of the XGBoost model surpasses that of traditional models. The sensitivity, accuracy, and AUC in task 1 were 98.32%, 87.03%, and 0.947, respectively. In task 2, the sensitivity values for MD, SSNHLV, and VM were 89.00%, 100.0%, and 79.40%, respectively. The precision values were 88.80%, 100.0%, and 80.00%, respectively. The AUC values were 0.933, 1.000, and 0.931, respectively. The model can significantly improve the accuracy of diagnosing vertigo diseases.
CONCLUSIONS: This system may enhance the accuracy of classification and diagnosis of vertigo diseases. It offers initial therapy or referrals to clinical doctors, particularly in resource-limited settings.
