No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a validated diagnostic prediction model in the appropriate diagnosis of Acute Heart Failure (AHF) in patients presenting at the emergency department with undifferentiated dyspnea.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Treatment as per model probability

Patients randomized to the arm where the clinician is exposed to the model results should be treated as per the model probability (i.e. if the model probability suggests AHF the clinician should treat for AHF).

OTHER

Treatment as per usual care

Patients randomized to the arm where the clinician is blinded to the model results will undergo diagnostic tests and receive treatment as per the clinician's judgment and usual care standards.
