Summary

The goal of this clustered, diagnostic randomized controlled trial is to study a clinical decision rule including a high-sensitive troponin I point of care test in patients with chest pain in primary care.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Can unnecessary referrals to secondary care be reduced by the use of a clinical deci-sion rule in patients with new onset, non-traumatic chest pain in primary care? Compared to current daily practice.
2. What is the accuracy (sensitivity, negative prediction value) of the clinical decision rule for excluding ACS and MACE at 6 weeks and 6 months?
