Impact on Management of the HEART Risk Score in Chest Pain Patients — HEART-Impact  

Chest Pain Clinical Trial

Official title:
Cost-effectiveness Study of the HEART Score in the Management of Patients With Chest Pain Presenting in the Emergency Room

Clinical Trial Summary

Aim of this study is to quantify the impact of the use of the HEART risk score on patient outcome and on costs in patients with chest pain presenting at the emergency room, as compared to not using the score.

Clinical Trial Description

During 14 months, patients presenting with chest pain to the Emergency Department (ED) of participating hospitals will be included in the study. First, all hospitals will apply 'usual care' to all patients, i.e. risk assessment and subsequent management without application of the HEART score. Then, during a 14 month period, each 1,5 month 1 randomly allocated hospital will sequentially start to apply the HEART score in all chest pain patients (intervention period); during this intervention period patients with a HEART score 0-3 will not be admitted to the hospital (in accordance with the results of our validation studies), and patients with a HEART score above 3 will be treated according to current guidelines. ;
