Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the incidence and the strategy of management of syncope admitted urgently to a general hospital. BACKGROUND: The management of patients with syncope is not standardized. METHODS: The study was a prospective observational registry from a sample of 28 general hospitals in Italy and enroled all consecutive patients referred to their emergency rooms from November 5th 2001 to December 7th 2001 who were affected by transient loss of consciousness as the principal symptom. RESULTS: The incidence of syncope was 0.95% (996 of 105,173 patients attending). Forty-six percent were hospitalized, mostly in the Department of Internal Medicine. The mean in-hospital stay was 8.1+/-5.9 days. A mean of 3.48 tests was performed per patient. A definite diagnosis was made in 80% of cases, neurally-mediated syncope being the most frequent. The findings of each of the 28 hospitals participating in the survey were separately evaluated. We observed great inter-hospital and inter-department heterogeneity regarding the incidence of emergency admission, in-hospital pathways, most of the examinations performed and the final assigned diagnosis. For example, the execution of carotid sinus massage ranged from 0% in one hospital to 58% in another (median 12.5%); tilt testing ranged from 0 to 50% (median 5.8%); the final diagnosis of neurally-mediated syncope ranged from 10 to 78.6% (median 43.3%). CONCLUSION: Great inter-hospital and inter-department heterogeneity in the incidence and management of syncope was observed in general hospitals. As a consequence, we were unable to describe a uniform strategy for the management of syncope in everyday practice.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
