Predictor variables of abnormal imaging findings of syncope in the emergency department
Keywords:
predictor variables, abnormal imaging findings, syncope, emergency departmentAbstract
Assessing diagnostic success of head CT in studied cases who present to emergency room with syncope. 117 studied cases presenting with syncopal event had no head CT results that had been clinically relevant, but those with competing indications for head CT—like those with history of trauma, seizures, changes in mental status, or studied cases with neurologic deficit on initial evaluation—were not included. Out of forty-four studied cases with syncope who received head CT on ED orders, 1 studied case had indications of an infarction. After removing studied cases with persistently changed mental status, drug-related or post-traumatic loss of consciousness, seizure, or hypoglycemia, diagnostic yield of five percent aberrant head CT findings is also required.
