Developing and Implementing Diagnostic Prediction Models for Vestibular Diseases in Primary Care.

Diagnosing patients with vertigo and dizziness is a challenge in primary care settings where laboratory examinations are often not available. This study uses data from patients with confirmed diagnoses of vestibular syndromes to develop and validate simple diagnostic prediction models for the primary care physician. We describe the implementation of these models into an application that may assist the practitioners with their clinical decisions.
