Table 1. Differentiating Menière’s disease and vestibular migraine using combinations of gain deficit, gain asymmetry and occurrence of covert anti-compensatory quick eye movements (CAQEM).

Sensitivity Specificity Accuracy P-value
CAQEM 46% 81% 65% 0.01
GAIN 17% 93% 59% 0.16
ASYM 17% 81% 53% 0.87
CAQEM+GAIN 11% 100% 60% 0.02
CAQEM+ASYM 11% 98% 59% 0.10
GAIN+ASYM 11% 95% 58% 0.26
CAQEM+GAIN+ASYM 9% 100% 59% 0.05

Table 1 shows sensitivity/specificity/accuracy of distinct combinations of CAQEM occurrence, gain deficit (GAIN, vestibulo-ocular reflex gain<0.7) and gain asymmetry (ASYM, >8%) to differentiate Menière’s disease from vestibular migraine. P-values (Pearson’s chi-square test) show whether there is a relationship between the “Menière’s disease vs. vestibular migraine” differentiation and the corresponding measure (i.e., CAQEM, GAIN, ASYM and combinations). CAQEM are helpful for distinguishing Menière’s disease and vestibular migraine (see bold p-values).
