Abstract
There are many epidemiological studies on Meniere's disease and sudden deafness. Little investigations are done on interactive analysis of each factor in these diseases, though many factors interact on each other in a complexed manner. So it is not enough to analyse one test by another test. We thought that the interactive analysis is essential after giving equilibrium tests.
We performed multivariate analysis of 1282 patients who had recieved equilibrium tests diagnosed as A) Meniere's disease and other vertiginous diseases, B) sudden deafness with vertigo and other vertiginous diseases, C) Meniere's disease and sudden deafness. The equilibrium tests were classified into 19 items and further into 51 categories. We noted many differences among interactions of each disease on the basis of the above-mentioned categories. We got approximately 70 percent of correct diagnostic rate.
