Résumé :	[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST smR0x1ev. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Among over 3000 patients undergoing coronary angiography in the absence of a formal queue-management system, we found that a-priori urgency scores were strongly associated with waiting times, prevalence of coronary-artery disease, rate of revascularisatlon, and mortality. These data challenge the widely held assumption that such waiting lists are not clinically ordered ; however, the wide variation in waiting times within urgency categories suggests the need for further improvements in clinical queueing.
