Very pleased to share our publication validating the FAINT and Canadian Syncope Scores for ED patients with unexplained syncope in @JAMANetworkOpen

Both showed excellent discrimination.
The FAINT score outperformed physician gestalt w/r/t sensitivity.

Both the Canadian Syncope Risk Score and FAINT score identified emergency department patients at low risk for serious outcomes, with FAINT showing higher sensitivity than physicians for serious cardiac outcomes.

Great to see NYP resident Eli Rogers presenting our work on validation of the Canadian Syncope Risk Score at #acep25

The score performed just as well for ED patients with presyncope as for those with syncope.
