الوصف: Introduction: The EGSYS score uses clinical variables to predict which patients may have cardiac (CS) or non-cardiac syncope (NCS). It has been validated in the emergency department context. This study aims to determine whether the score has the same applicability in an outpatient setting. Methods: In this retrospective study of all patients observed in the outpatient setting of a hospital with a syncope unit between January 2015 and December 2016, the EGSYS score was calculated for each patient, and its sensitivity and specificity were determined for the prediction of CS in patients with score ≥3. Results: A total of 224 patients, mean age 64.3±21.7 years, 116 (51.8%) male, were analyzed. In the 163 (72.7%) patients with confirmed syncope, CS was diagnosed in 27 (16.6%) and NCS in 136 (83.4%). The EGSYS score was ≥3 in 40 (20.0%) patients with NCS and in 13 (48.1%) with CS. A positive score had a sensitivity of 48.2% (95% CI: 28.7-68.1), a specificity of 77.9% (95% CI: 70.0-84.6), and a positive and negative predictive value of 30.2% (95% CI: 20.8-41.8) and 88.3% (95% CI: 83.9-91.7), respectively. Conclusion: The EGSYS score has limited usefulness in an outpatient setting, where observed patients have already been been medically assessed. Given its high specificity and negative predictive value, it may be useful to reassure low-risk patients and family members. Resumo: Introdução: O score EGSYS para avaliação do doente com síncope em contexto de urgência utiliza variáveis de ordem clínica e foi validado para diferenciar entre síncope de etiologia cardíaca (SC) ou não cardíaca (SNC). Este trabalho pretende determinar se o score tem a mesma aplicabilidade no contexto de consulta. Métodos: Estudo retrospetivo a partir dos registos eletrónicos dos doentes observados em consulta externa de síncope entre janeiro de 2015 e dezembro de 2016. Foi calculado o score EGSYS para cada doente e determinada a sensibilidade e especificidade para a predição de etiologia cardíaca em doentes com score 3. Resultados: Foram avaliados 224 doentes, com média de 64,3 ± 21,7 anos, 116 (51,8%) eram do sexo masculino. Nos 163 (72,7%) com síncope confirmada, o diagnóstico foi de SC em 27 (16,6%) e SNC em 136 (83,4%). O score EGSYS foi 3 em 40 (20,0%) doentes com SNC e em 13 (48,1%) com SC. Um score 3 teve uma sensibilidade de 48,2% (IC 95%: 28,7-68,1), uma especificidade de 77,9% (CI 95%: 70,0-84,6), um valor preditivo positivo e negativo de 30,2% (CI 95%: 20,8 – 41,8) e 88,3% (CI 95: 83,9 – 91,7) respetivamente. Conclusão: O score EGSYS tem utilidade limitada no contexto de consulta de síncope, que recebe doentes filtrados por avaliação médica prévia. Dada a sua elevada especificidade e valor preditivo negativo, poderá ter utilidade como tranquilizador do doente e parentes no contexto clínico apropriado.
