The study aims to assess the concordance between emergency physician diagnosis (i.e., initial rapid assessment at ED admission including point-of-care lung ultrasound - PoC-LUS) and attending physician diagnosis (i.e., hospital admission diagnosis which also includes CT scans) in patients presenting with dyspnea.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We performed a prospective pilot observational study in the ED of tertiary care university hospital between 31.01.2022 and 03.09.2024.

An excellent agreement was found between emergency physician and attending physician diagnosis for all etiologies of dyspnea: pleural effusion (Cohen\u2019s kappa coefficient 1 for bilateral, 0.844 for right, 0.790 for left pleural effusion), pneumonia (\u03ba\u2009=\u20090.979 for right, \u03ba\u2009=\u20090.930 for left pneumonia), bronchopneumonia (\u03ba\u2009=\u20090.912), acute pulmonary edema (\u03ba\u2009=\u20091), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbation (\u03ba\u2009=\u20090.904), pleuropulmonary tumors (k\u2009=\u20090.884), acute respiratory distress syndrome \u2013 ARDS (\u03ba\u2009=\u20091), (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001 for all). The median(\u00b1SD) time needed to complete the emergency physician diagnosis was 16(\u00b14) minutes and the median(\u00b1SD) time needed to complete the attending physician diagnosis was 480(\u00b1112) minutes.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In patients presenting in the ED with dyspnea, PoC-LUS guided emergency physician diagnosis has a very good diagnosis performance.
