OESIL Score for Syncope
Estimates 12-month all-cause mortality in patients presenting with syncope.
Advice
This tool complements, but does not replace, clinical judgment, a careful history, and a thorough evaluation of syncope patients in the ED.
Management
Low risk (score 0–1):
- Consider further outpatient evaluation and follow-up.
- Provide patient education on warning signs and when to return to the ED.
Intermediate to high risk (score ≥2):
- Consider hospital admission for further monitoring and investigation (e.g., telemetry, echocardiography).
- Initiate consultations with cardiology or neurology as needed.
