Article Synopsis
- The Canadian Syncope Risk Score (CSRS) was tested in an international study to predict serious outcomes within 30 days for patients over 40 who experience syncope and seek emergency care.
- Among 2,283 participants, the CSRS outperformed the OESIL score in predicting adverse outcomes, with a better area under the curve (AUC) for both primary and secondary outcomes.
- A simplified version of the CSRS that uses just the clinician's classification of syncope also showed strong predictive ability, raising questions about the necessity of the full score components.
Background: Various scores have been derived for the assessment of syncope patients in the emergency department (ED) but stay inconsistently validated. We aim to compare their performance to the one of a common, easy-to-use CHADS score.
Methods: We prospectively enrolled patients ≥ 40 years old presenting with syncope to the ED in a multicenter study.
