62 CONCLUSION Using patient age, physician pretest probability and NT-proBNP as a continuous variable, we have prospectively validated a novel pragmatic clinical decision tool for diagnosing AHF in the indeterminant dyspneic ED patient. It is generalizable across a range of cases and clinicians. With its implementation as an App, future studies of sensitivity and analysis of the clinical impact are warranted.

73 CONCLUSION Using patient age, physician pretest probability and NT-proBNP as a continuous variable, we have prospectively validated a novel pragmatic clinical decision tool for diagnosing AHF in the indeterminant dyspneic ED patient. It is generalizable across a range of cases and clinicians. With its implementation as an App, future studies of sensitivity and analysis of the clinical impact are warranted.
74 Hierarchy of Evidence for Clinical Prediction Rules Level I: Rules that can be used in a wide variety of settings with confidence that they can change clinician behaviour and improve patient outcomes At least one prospective validation in a different population and one impact analysis, demonstrating change in clinician behaviour with beneficial consequences Level II: Rules that can be used in various settings with confidence in their accuracy Demonstrated accuracy in either one large prospective study including a broad spectrum of patients and clinicians, or validated in several smaller settings who differ from one another consider using with caution and only if patients in the study are similar to those in your clinical settilevel III: Rules that clinicians may ng These rules have been validated in only one narrow prospective sample. Level IV: Rules that need further evaluation before they can be applied clinically These CPRs have been derived but not validated or have only been validated in split samples, large retrospective databases, or by statistical techniques.

92 Methods. Undifferentiated dyspneic ED patients with an EP assessed initial indeterminate (21-79%) pretest probability for AHF were enrolled prospectively across 4 sites. At time of ED disposition, EP recorded EPDx as AHF or noahf. Receiver-operator characteristic (ROC) curves were constructed and area under the curve (AUC) calculated to illustrate both pretest AHF and SoB-HF posttest value agreement with gold standard adjudicated diagnosis by two blinded cardiology experts. For model agreement, optimal cut-points using sensitivity, specificity and likelihood ratios (LR) were calculated.
