, diabetes, smoking, cholesterol ratio, blood pressure ≥160 mmHg, HbA1c ≥65 mmol/mol, creatinine ≥100 umol/L. Median 5yr CVR was 24% (IQR 18-35%), with excellent calibration (figure) and c-statistic 0.69 (95%CI 0.677-0.698). Validation: 2,014 patients, 72% men, 92% European, median age 67yrs, with 712 CV events in the subsequent 5 years. Median predicted 5yr CVR was 32% (IQR 24-44%), with very good calibration (figure). Conclusion: A new risk score using clinical data routinely available in primary care has been developed which accurately predicts CVR among patients living in the community after an ACS event. Such models are required for risk stratification over the life-course of CV disease.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
