UNASSIGNED: Introduction Five percent of @entity63 ( @entity63 ) @entity1 have a subsequent @entity64 within 7 days. The Canadian @entity63 Score uses clinical findings to calculate the subsequent @entity64 risk within 7 days. Our objectives were to assess 1) anticipated use; 2) component face validity; 3) risk strata for @entity64 within 7 days; and 4) actions required, for a given risk for subsequent @entity64 . METHODS: After a rigorous development process, a survey questionnaire was administered to a random sample of 300 emergency physicians selected from those registered in a national medical directory. The surveys were distributed using a modified Dillman technique. RESULTS: From a total of 271 eligible surveys, we received 131 (48.3%) completed surveys; 96.2% of emergency physicians would use a validated Canadian @entity63 Score; 8 of 13 components comprising the Canadian @entity63 Score were rated as Very Important or Important by survey respondents. Risk categories for subsequent @entity64 were defined as minimal-risk: 10% risk of subsequent @entity64 within 7 days. CONCLUSION: A validated Canadian @entity63 Score will likely be used by emergency physicians. Most components of the @entity63 Score have high face validity. Risk strata are definable, which may allow physicians to determine immediate actions, based on subsequent @entity64 risk, in the emergency department.
