The management of patients with syncope in the emergency department (ED) is challenging because no robust risk tool available has been recommended for clinical use.To validate Canadian Syncope Risk Score (CSRS) a new cohort to determine its ability predict 30-day serious outcomes not evident during index ED evaluation.This prospective multicenter study conducted at 9 EDs across Canada included 16 years and older who presented within 24 hours syncope. Patients were enrolled from March 2014...
The optimal duration of cardiac rhythm monitoring after emergency department (ED) presentation for syncope is poorly described. We sought to describe the incidence and time arrhythmia occurrence inform decisions regarding based on ED risk stratification.We conducted a prospective cohort study with enrolled adult patients (≥16 years old) presenting within 24 hours at 6 EDs. collected baseline characteristics, arrival, Canadian Syncope Risk Score (CSRS) category. followed subjects 30 days, our...
Abstract Objective To validate the previously derived Canadian TIA Score to stratify subsequent stroke risk in a new cohort of emergency department patients with transient ischaemic attack. Design Prospective study. Setting 13 departments over five years. Participants 7607 consecutively enrolled adult attending attack or minor stroke. Main outcome measures The primary was carotid endarterectomy/carotid artery stenting within seven days. secondary days (with without stenting). Telephone...
Traumatic hemorrhage is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. There considerable interest in risk stratification tools to aid with early activation intervention pathways for bleeding patients. In this study, we refine the Canadian Bleeding (CAN-BLEED) score prediction major interventions trauma We conducted mixed retrospective-prospective cohort study. included retrospective from CAN-BLEED derivation September 2014 2017. also prospective May 2019 August 2021 both datasets...
Purpose: Emergency department (ED) crowding is a growing crisis and beds with cardiac monitors are very limited resource. This study aims to assess the use of monitoring among patients waiting in ED for inpatient bed, interventions due monitoring, identify risk factors serious adverse events (SAE) optimize monitors. Methods: We performed 2-week health records review hospitalized/boarded on collected baseline characteristics outcomes including (SAE; e.g., arrhythmia, hypotension) during stay....
Acute heart failure (AHF) is a common emergency department (ED) presentation that may have poor outcomes but often does not require hospital admission. There little evidence to guide dispositional decisions.
Published risk tools do not provide possible management options for syncope in the emergency department (ED). Using 30-day observed estimates based on Canadian Syncope Risk Score (CSRS), we developed personalised prediction to guide decisions.We pooled previously reported data from two large cohort studies, CSRS derivation and validation cohorts, that prospectively enrolled adults (≥16 years) with at 11 EDs between 2010 2018. this larger cohort, calculated calibration discrimination,...
