Abstract

Diagnosing chest pain can be a challenging process with potential misdiagnoses causing significant morbidity and mortality, and the associated healthcare cost and burden. As a potential solution to increase the diagnostic accuracy and rule out non-life-threatening conditions, we have evaluated the method known as orthogonal vector projection which is a part of the Select and Test (ST) algorithm for medical diagnosis, as a pilot study. Using a knowledgebase consisting of 12 diagnoses and 43 clinical features, we have evaluated 47 clinical cases by comparing the diagnosis given by a senior clinician to the diagnosis arrived by the orthogonal vector projection method.
