The objective of this study was to identify among newer biomarkers those with the highest sensitivity in early mortality prediction. : This prospective, unicentric, observational study enrolled 47 adult patients admitted to the ED between November 2020 and December 2022.

Management of syncope in the Emergency Department: a European prospective cohort study (SEED).

Background And Importance: In 2018, the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) produced syncope guidelines that for the first-time incorporated Emergency Department (ED) management. However, very little is known about the characteristics and management of this patient group across Europe.

Objectives: To examine the prevalence, clinical presentation, assessment, investigation (ECG and laboratory testing), management and ESC and Canadian Syncope Risk Score (CSRS) categories of adult European ED patients presenting with transient loss of consciousness (TLOC, undifferentiated or suspected syncope).
