Why the study?
Does implementation of the ESC 0/1-hour algorithm using high-sensitivity troponin T safely reduce emergency department length of stay and increase discharge rates compared to the 0/3-hour protocol in patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome?
Population
2525 eligible patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome
Comparison
Implementation of the ESC 0/1-hour algorithm vs pre-implementation ESC 0/3-hour protocol
Design
Prospective cohort implementation study
Follow-up
30 days

Should not yet change practice; leaves open randomized trials to confirm safety and efficiency of the 0/1-hour algorithm.
Does implementation of the ESC 0/1-hour algorithm using high-sensitivity troponin T safely reduce emergency department length of stay and increase discharge rates compared to the 0/3-hour protocol in patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome?
Real-world implementation of the ESC 0/1-hour algorithm for suspected ACS is safe, significantly reduces emergency department length of stay, and increases direct discharge rates compared to the 0/3-hour protocol.
