Performance characteristics of the two predictive items* for DHT + BPPV in the combined derivation and validation sets

Sensitivity Specificity LR
Positivity of both 0.44 (0.21–0.67) 0.93 (0.90–0.97) 6.81 (5.11–9.10)
Positivity of only one 0.44 (0.21–0.67) 0.64 (0.57–0.71) 1.22 (1.05–1.43)
Positivity of none 0.11 (0–0.26) 0.43 (0.36–0.50) 0.19 (0.08–0.47)
