简要总结
Overtesting for Acute Coronary Syndrome(ACS) and Pulmonary Embolism (PE) in low risk Emergency Department(ED) patients can increase exposure of nondiseased patients to radiation, intravenous contrast and anticoagulation. This project addresses question of whether quantitative Pre-Test Probability(PTP) assessed from two validated web-based computer algorithms (the project "webtool"), can improve the diagnostic evaluation of adult patients with charted evidence of chest pain and dyspnea. After a validation phase, the main study will randomize patients to either the Standard care group or the Intervention group, which will receive the output of the ACS and PE webtool that includes the PTP estimates of ACS and PE and one of three recommendations regarding next steps: 1. No further testing, 2. Exclusion with a biomarker protocol, or 3. Immediate imaging +/- empiric anticoagulation.

结局指标
主要结局
Efficiency--Mean Cost of Care
时间窗: Day 30
Only costs at the enrollment hospital will be used, and only for patients who indicate that they did not visit any other hospital at the time of phone follow-up. Costs would exclude unexpected and unrelated events such as trauma. Additionally, estimated costs associated with the time required of the clinician to gather and enter the 17 variables are included.
次要结局
- Effectiveness--Length of Stay Emergency Department(Day 7)
- Efficiency--Total Charge of Medical Care(Day 30)
- Effectiveness--Length of Stay in Hospital(Day 7)
- Safety--Radiation Dose to the Chest(Day 90)
