We utilized the Numerical Rating Scale 0\u201310 (NRS) to quantify chest pain severity before and after the maneuver. Eligible for inclusion were adults over 18 years old who were able to provide written informed consent. We performed the sternal brace on all consenting adults meeting these criteria, and the researchers were blinded between test results and final diagnosis. Cardiac ischemia in the US with a disease prevalence of 0.029 was utilized.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n A total of 34 patients were included, of whom 11 had a final diagnosis of cardiac-related chest pain. The cutoff value was a decrease in pain severity of 2 or greater between pretest and posttest. Sensitivity was 81.8\u202f% (95\u202f% confidence interval [CI], 48.2\u201397.7\u202f%); specificity 34.8\u202f% (95\u202f% CI, 16.4\u201357.3\u202f%), the positive predictive value was 3.6\u202f% (95\u202f% CI, 0.1\u201320.3\u202f%), and the negative predictive value was 98.4\u202f% (95\u202f% CI, 66.8\u2013100.0\u202f%).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n The sternal brace is a good screening test because if a person with chest pain has an NRS that decreases by 2 or more with the maneuver, then there is a 98.5\u202f% chance that the chest pain is noncardiac, given the prevalence of cardia ischemia. In addition, if the disease is present, then it is 81.8\u202f% likely that their NRS will not decrease by more than 2.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1515\/jom-2023-0103","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,19]],"date-time":"2023-09-19T16:39:58Z","timestamp":1695141598000},"page":"45-50","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["The sternal brace: a novel osteopathic diagnostic screening tool to rule out cardiac chest pain in the emergency department"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"124","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3352-1446","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Garrett","family":"Gianneschi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology , Rutgers-New Jersey Medical School , Newark , NJ , USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sarthak","family":"Patel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine , Rutgers-New Jersey Medical School , Newark , NJ , USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Patrick","family":"Hinfey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine , Robert Wood Johnson-Barnabas Health System at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center , Newark , NJ , USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"374","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024012505512543153_j_jom-2023-0103_ref_001","unstructured":"Blatchford, O, Capewell, S, Murray, S, Blatchford, M.
