COMPARISON OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF SVEAT AND HEART SCORES IN PREDICTION OF ONE-MONTH MAJOR CARDIAC EVENTS IN PATIENTS APPLYING TO THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT WITH CHEST PAIN

ABSTRACT
Objective: Chest pain can be seen in a wide spectrum from life-threatening diseases to less risky conditions. In emergency departments, it is as important to identify and treat patients at high risk for ACS as it is to identify and discharge low-risk patients with fewer investigations and in a shorter time. This approach both relieves the burden on emergency departments and simplifies emergency department management by reducing unnecessary healthcare costs. Various scoring systems have been developed for risk classification of chest pain. There is a new scoring system called SVEAT that has been published in recent years. In our study, we aimed to compare the efficacy of the SVEAT score and the HEART score in terms of their success in predicting major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in patients.

Methods: Our study is a prospective observational diagnostic-validity study. Patients aged 18 years and older with a non-traumatic troponin test blood sample and no
ST elevation detected on ECG constitute the population of this study. Between 15.01.2024 and 15.07.2024, patients presenting to the emergency department of Kutahya Health Sciences University Evliya Çelebi Training and Research Hospital with chest pain who were presumed to have an underlying cardiac disease were included, and monitored in the ER observation area. Patients were examined by on-call physicians actively supervised by emergency medicine specialists and followed up according to AHA/ESC ACS guidelines. The hospital information system, e-Nabız (T.C. Ministry of Health) system, or telephone were used to inquire about significant adverse cardiac events, which were the primary outcome, on the 30th day following the patients enrollment in the study, without knowledge of their SVEAT scores. 
Results: During the study period, a total of 1094 patients presenting to the emergency department with non-traumatic chest pain were included.
Major adverse cardiac events, our primary outcome, occurred in 12.7% (n: 139) of patients. The AUC value for the heart and sveat score in predicting 30-day MACE was
0.906..., 0.886, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of the HEART score was 76.98% and 87.85%, respectively, while the sensitivity and specificity of the SVEAT score
was 71.22% and 88.48%, respectively. 
The subgroups of our secondary outcome MACE, mortality, developed in 9 patients, acute myocardial infarction in 99 patients, revascularization in 54 patients, cerebrovascular event in 4 patients and decompensated heart failure in 17 patients.
Conclusion: The SVEAT score and the HEART score are similarly reliable for MACE in patients presenting to the emergency department with chest pain.
