No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The investigators have created a new risk score that predicts whether initially stable patients with myocardial infarctions (heart attacks) will require intensive care while they are in the hospital. To evaluate how well this risk score works, the investigators plan to calculate this risk score for every patient that comes to the hospital with a heart attack, provide the risk score to the emergency room doctor treating the patient, and determine whether each patient required intensive care while they were in the hospital. The investigators will then evaluate whether giving emergency room doctors access to this risk score reduced costs of taking care of heart attack patients compared with previous years.
