description OBJECTIVE: To assess the feasibility of an ED presenting complaint (PC) tool that categorised all ED PCs into 10 categories. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of 1445 consecutive patient encounters was conducted. The primary outcome was the frequency of use of the 10 PC categories. RESULTS: Of the 1203 patient encounters meeting inclusion criteria, the PC tool was completed by clinicians in 574 (47.7%). When completed, the tool's 10 options were selected for most presentations (72.3%). CONCLUSION: The PC tool captured the majority of presenting complaints in 10 categories. External validation is recommended.
