OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to develop a triage tool to more effectively triage possible ACS patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) before admission to a protocol-driven chest pain unit (CPU).
METHODS: Seven hundred ninety-three clinical cases, randomly selected from 7962 possible ACS cases, were used to develop and test an ACS triage model using cluster analysis and stepwise logistic regression.
RESULTS: The ACS triage model, logit (suspected ACS patient)=-5.283+1.894×chest pain+1.612×age+1.222×male+0.958×proximal radiation pain+0.962×shock+0.519×acute heart failure, with a threshold value set at 2.5, was developed to triage patients. Compared to four existing methods, the chest-pain strategy, the Zarich's strategy, the flowchart, and the heart broken index (HBI), the ACS triage model had better performance.
CONCLUSION: This study developed an ACS triage model for triaging possible ACS patients. The model could be used as a rapid tool in EDs to reduce the workloads of ED nurses and physicians in relation to admissions to the CPU.
