Complaints and Presumptive Diagnosis in a Danish Emergency Department

December 7, 2012 updated by: Christian Backer Mogensen, University of Southern Denmark

Acute patients in Denmark are often admitted to Emergency Departments by their General Practitioner with a presumptive diagnosis.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic value of the pre-admission presumptive diagnosis and to assess if the presumptive diagnosis could be replaced by a number of symptom-based groups.
