title: Predictive value of prior Rose angina for myocardial infarction confirmation after emergency admissions.
abstract: The Rose Questionnaire, developed to facilitate screening for the presence of coronary artery disease, has shown good utility for white men and more variable utility among Latino, African-American, and female subjects. This study investigated its utility for prediction of outcome in patients with suspected myocardial infarction. A total of 1428 white, Latino, and African-American subjects completed questionnaires after emergency admission, which were correlated with diagnoses at the time of discharge from a public hospital and private hospital. Results indicated that subjects with positive questionnaires were less likely to have infarction confirmed at discharge, except for those with a prior history of myocardial infarction, than those with a negative response. These data are important in evaluating the overall utility of the Rose Questionnaire and the significance of angina.
