Experts identified critical research needs for evaluating and managing syncope in the emergency department (ED). This workshop established a high-priority research agenda to improve patient care and advance syncope science.
Area of Science:
- Emergency medicine
- Cardiology
- Neurology
Background:
- Limited evidence exists for emergency department (ED) syncope evaluation and management.
- The First International Workshop on Syncope Risk Stratification in the ED aimed to address these gaps.
Framework:
- A conceptual model for ED syncope decision-making was developed.
- Key research areas include definition, cohort selection, risk stratification, and management.
Implementation:
- A multinational panel of 31 syncope experts from 7 countries participated.
- Research priorities were identified via preconference surveys and refined through an iterative review process.
Implications:
- The workshop defined a high-priority research agenda for syncope in the ED.
- This agenda aims to improve clinical practice and advance scientific understanding of syncope.
