Table 4.
Eyes closed trial 1: all subjects (all S's), ROC, sensitivity and specificity by age groups for the first eyes-closed trial. Recommended cut-points are given as the number of correct tandem steps. The sample sizes of controls and patients per age group are given in parentheses (C/P).Without BPPV the sample size for patients is smaller and ROC values are different. See ROC no BPPV for comparison.
