Independent Predictors of Repeat Emergency Room Presentations: Insights from a Cohort of 1066 Consecutive Patients with Non-Cardiac Chest Pain Generating 4770 Repeat Presentations.

Background And Importance: Chest pain (CP) is one of the most frequent presentations to the emergency department (ED), a large proportion of which is non-cardiac chest pain (NCCP). Repeat attendances to ED are common and impose considerable burden to overstretched departments.

Objective: Our aim was to determine drivers for repeat ED presentations using NCCP as the primary cause of index presentation.
