A decision tree is an artificial intelligence program that is adaptive and is closely related to a neural network, but can handle missing or nondecisive data in decision-making. Data on patients with Meniere's disease, vestibular schwannoma, traumatic vertigo, sudden deafness, benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, and vestibular neuritis were retrieved from the database of the otoneurologic expert system ONE for the development and testing of the accuracy of decision trees in the diagnostic workup. Decision trees were constructed separately for each disease. The accuracies of the best decision trees were 94%, 95%, 99%, 99%, 100%, and 100% for the respective diseases. The most important questions concerned the presence of vertigo, hearing loss, and tinnitus; duration of vertigo; frequency of vertigo attacks; severity of rotational vertigo; onset and type of hearing loss; and occurrence of head injury in relation to the timing of onset of vertigo. Meniere's disease was the most difficult to classify correctly. The validity and structure of the decision trees are easily comprehended and can be used outside the expert system.
