Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: to determine clinical features of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). METHODS: We included into this study 272 patients with ACS, 110 with and 162 without concomitant COPD. In both groups we registered prevalence of atypical forms of ACS debut, severity of acute heart failure (Killip class), time from symptoms onset prior to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), as well as the prevalence of cardiac arrhythmias. RESULTS: Demographic characteristics and presence.
