| Abstract |
The aim of this study was to assess the frequency of chest pain presentations and the subsequent non-cardiac chest pain diagnoses in an emergency department (ED) over a 3 year period. Administrative data on ED attendances to an urban general hospital in Northern Ireland between March 2013 and March 2016 were used. Data were coded and analysed to estimate frequencies of 'chest pain' presentation and the subsequent diagnoses for each year. Both chest pain presentations and chest pain presentations with a subsequent diagnosis of unknown cause increased each year. In total, 58.7% of all chest presentations across 3 years resulted in a non-cardiac diagnosis of either 'anxiety', 'panic' or 'chest pain of unknown cause'. There is a significant amount of patients in the ED leaving with a non-cardiac diagnosis, following an initial presentation with chest pain. Given the link between non-cardiac chest pain and frequent use of services, the degree of repeat attendance should be investigated. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 29 May 2023.
All research outputs
#14,096,041
of 23,870,803 outputs
Outputs from BMC Health Services Research
#4,838
of 7,943 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#163,471
of 319,710 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Health Services Research
#107
of 163 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,870,803 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 39th percentile – i.e., 39% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 7,943 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.0. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 319,710 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 46th percentile – i.e., 46% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 163 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 33rd percentile – i.e., 33% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
