Martin Than,Louise Cullen,Louise Cullen,Sally Aldous,William A. Parsonage,William A. Parsonage,Christopher M. Reid,Jaimi H. Greenslade,Jaimi H. Greenslade,Dylan Flaws,Christopher J. Hammett,Daren M.

Maisel,Swee Han Lim,Arvin Lamanna,A. Mark Richards +24 more
TL;DR: Using the ADP, a large group of patients was successfully identified as at low short-term risk of a MACE and therefore suitable for rapid discharge from the emergency department with early follow-up, which could decrease the observation period required for some patients with chest pain.
Journal ArticleDOI
What is an acceptable risk of major adverse cardiac event in chest pain patients soon after discharge from the Emergency Department? A clinical survey
Martin Than,Mel Herbert,Dylan Flaws,Louise Cullen,Louise Cullen,Erik P. Hess,Judd E. Hollander,Deborah B. Diercks,Michael Ardagh,Jeffery A. Kline,Zea Munro,Allan S. Jaffe +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess the acceptable level of missed diagnosis in emergency departments and find that up to 85% of patients with suspicious symptoms do not have an acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
Journal ArticleDOI
A 2-h diagnostic protocol to assess patients with chest pain symptoms in the Asia-Pacific region (ASPECT): a prospective observational validation study
Martin Than,Louise Cullen,Louise Cullen,Christopher M. Reid,Swee Han Lim,Sally Aldous,Michael Ardagh,W. Frank Peacock,William A.

George,A. Mark Richards +27 more
TL;DR: This novel ADP identifies patients at very low risk of a short-term major adverse cardiac event who might be suitable for early discharge and could be used to decrease the overall observation periods and admissions for chest pain.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: An early-discharge strategy using an hs-TnI assay and TIMI score ≤ 1 had similar safety as previously reported, with the potential to decrease the observation periods and admissions for approximately 40% of patients with suspected ACS.

TL;DR: In this paper, a 2-h accelerated diagnostic protocol (ADP) was proposed to identify patients presenting with chest pain who have a low short-term risk of a major adverse cardiac event.
