Implication

May support GRI preference in discordant ECG cases; leaves open need for prospective validation before practice change.

Structured PICO

Does the Glasgow Royal Infirmary orthogonal three-lead ECG program provide more accurate interpretations compared to the IBM 12-lead ECG program?

P
Population
300 patients with various clinical abnormalities
I
Intervention
Glasgow Royal Infirmary (GRI) program for orthogonal three-lead ECG interpretation
C
Comparator
IBM program version 1 for 12-lead ECG interpretation
O
Outcome
Accuracy of ECG interpretation compared to clinical documentation and direct comparison of diagnostic statementssurrogate

The Glasgow Royal Infirmary orthogonal three-lead ECG program outperformed the IBM 12-lead program in cases of diagnostic disagreement, particularly for conduction defects and ST-T-wave abnormalities.
