Trial Outcomes & Findings for Acute Video-oculography for Vertigo in Emergency Rooms for Rapid Triage (AVERT) (NCT NCT02483429)
NCT ID: NCT02483429
Last Updated: 2025-12-26
Results Overview
Total diagnosis accuracy VRT vs. ED SOC using 30-day adjudicated final diagnoses categorized in one of six diagnosis categories (3 peripheral, 1 central, 1 medical/other, 1 non-diagnosis). VRT diagnoses were based on automated interpretation of ED index VOG tests in the context of structured medical history information and examination findings from the ED index visit (clinically supervised for safety), while ED SOC diagnoses were based on all clinical information from the ED index visit, including neuroimaging and consultations. Final diagnoses were based on ED index visit, 1-week, and 30-day follow-up clinical assessments. The population was limited to those with complete 1-week follow-up testing including in-person vestibular specialist exam, repeat VOG assessment, and MRI with diffusion-weighted images for ischemic stroke detection.

VRT Care
Patients randomized to video-oculography (VOG)-guided rapid triage (VRT) care will have an algorithm-determined patient-specific diagnosis and treatment pathway in the emergency department (ED). Participants will complete a 1-week in-person follow-up and a 1-month and 6-month phone follow-up.
VRT Care: The VOG report includes direct device output (physiologic traces, quantitative measures) plus most likely diagnosis, category, and clinical trial care pathway (peripheral, equivocal, central) instructions. The VOG report becomes part of the patient's emergency department clinical record.
|
Standard of Care (SOC)
Patients randomized to Standard of Care will undergo usual emergency department care without revealing results of VOG testing. Participants will complete a 1-week in-person follow-up and a 1-month and 6-month phone follow-up.

VOG-guided Rapid Triage (VRT) Care
n=57 Participants
Participants in both trial arms underwent video-oculography (VOG) testing to analyze their eye movements and were then randomized either to have VOG results algorithmically analyzed in real time and incorporated into their emergency department (ED) care process or for the VOG results not to be analyzed until a later date (i.e., during the trial's delayed diagnosis adjudication procedures). Participants completed a 1-week in-person follow-up, a 1-month phone follow-up, and a 1-month medical record review. Those completing the required 1-week follow-up testing (in-person vestibular specialist examination, repeat VOG testing, and follow-up MRI for ischemic stroke detection) were eligible for the primary analysis of the main trial outcomes as prespecified in the AVERT protocol at the trial's outset.
VRT Care: Participants randomized to VRT (VOG-guided Rapid Triage) care received an automated algorithm-determined, patient-specific diagnosis and treatment pathway in the ED based on VOG testing. Automated algorithm outputs were reviewed for safety by an on-call trial physician before being incorporated into the patient's ED care process. The VOG report included direct device output (physiologic traces, quantitative measures) plus an algorithmically generated most likely diagnosis, diagnosis category (peripheral, equivocal, central), and diagnosis-specific clinical trial care pathway instructions. The VOG report was incorporated into the patient's ED care and clinical record.

Total US dollar costs VRT vs. ED SOC for diagnostic tests and consultations obtained during the ED index visit and associated hospital admission (for those admitted at the index visit). For the VRT arm, this does not include costs of safety MRIs required by the institutional review board (IRB)-approved protocol or any tests ordered "off protocol" by ED physicians (i.e., it represents VRT-recommended utilization-based costs); however, it does include tests, consultations, or admissions ordered "on protocol" by consultants or ED physicians in the VRT "equivocal" diagnosis pathway. For the SOC arm, this includes all utilization-related costs from the ED index visit (tests, consultations, or admissions). Total costs are calculated by multiplying fixed cost estimates (2025 national average Medicare reimbursement in US dollars) by utilization rates for each ED index visit service tracked.

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: 1-week follow-up time pointPopulation: Randomized participants in the SOC Care trial arm (n=65) who had complete 1-week follow-up testing (n=56) that included, at a minimum, in-person vestibular specialist exam, repeat VOG assessment, and MRI with diffusion-weighted images for ischemic stroke detection.
PMEIs included ED revisits, falls, vascular events, and test or treatment complications. PMEIs occurring between the ED index visit disposition and 1-week follow-up visit (after which the two arms joined the same diagnostic pathway) were considered. Events diagnosed at ED index visit were not counted. Events newly diagnosed at 1-week follow-up or in the interval prior to 1-week follow-up were counted, regardless of relatedness to ED index dizziness symptoms, with the exception of test or treatment complications, which were required to be related directly or indirectly to the dizziness symptoms. To avoid "double counting" misdiagnoses as follow-on PMEIs pursuant to an initial misdiagnosis, 1-week stroke diagnoses not rendered at the ED index visit were not counted unless neurologic or vestibular symptoms/signs worsened after the ED index visit. Six-category accuracy was used to determine "correct" vs. "incorrect" index ED SOC diagnoses relative to 30-day adjudicated final diagnoses.

Total diagnosis accuracy Expert VOG vs. ED SOC using 30-day adjudicated final diagnoses categorized in one of six diagnosis categories (3 peripheral, 1 central, 1 medical/other, 1 non-diagnosis). Expert VOG diagnoses were based on masked interpretation of ED index VOG tests in the context of basic demographic and medical history information from the ED index visit, while ED SOC diagnoses were based on all clinical information from the ED index visit, including neuroimaging and consultations. Final diagnoses were based on ED index visit, 1-week, and 30-day follow-up clinical assessments. The SOC arm population was limited to those with known final diagnoses to avoid counting as "incorrect" cases with unknown final diagnoses after 30-day follow-up. This within-subject comparison reflects current potential accuracy of expert VOG-based tele-diagnosis and the targeted maximum diagnostic accuracy (i.e., expert level performance) for future automated algorithms, relative to current care.
