Key result
Higher EDACS scores linked to MACE.
Why the study?
EDACS and its accelerated diagnostic protocol are widely used for risk stratification in chest pain, but their diagnostic performance had not been evaluated in a Turkish cohort.
Does the Emergency Department Assessment of Chest Pain Score (EDACS) and its accelerated diagnostic protocol accurately predict MACE in patients presenting with chest pain to the ED?
Cross-Sectional (n=744)
No
Does the Emergency Department Assessment of Chest Pain Score (EDACS) and its accelerated diagnostic protocol accurately predict MACE in patients presenting with chest pain to the ED?
The EDACS score was higher in patients who experienced MACE compared to those who did not in a Turkish ED cohort.
Higher EDACS scores associated with MACE in this cohort; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical use.

Süzer et al. (2025) conducted a cross-sectional in Chest pain (n=744). Emergency Department Assessment of Chest Pain Score (EDACS) and EDACS-ADP was evaluated on Major adverse cardiac event (MACE). The median EDACS score was higher in patients experiencing a major adverse cardiac event compared to those without MACE (20 vs. 15).
