    Attention COACH STUDY participants:

    The principal investigators of the study request that you use the official version of the modified score here.

    EGSYS (Evaluation of Guidelines in SYncope Study) Score for Syncope

    Predicts likelihood that syncope is from cardiac cause.

    INSTRUCTIONS

    Note: We recommend the San Francisco Syncope Rule over other syncope risk stratification scores, as it is the most widely validated.

    When to Use
    Pearls/Pitfalls
    Why Use

    Patients presenting to the emergency department with syncope.

    • May have limited generalizability—in the study, a cardiologist specializing in syncope was available to review the EKG in the emergency setting.
    • Includes specific criteria for EKG abnormalities.
    • Less sensitive (95%) than the San Francisco Syncope Rule (96–98%).

    Cardiac syncope carries high mortality if untreated. A score that identifies these patients can help prevent adverse outcomes from underlying cardiac pathology.
