ascvd_10y_prevent: PREVENT 10-year ASCVD risk score

In CVrisk: Compute Risk Scores for Cardiovascular Diseases

PREVENT 10-year ASCVD risk score

Description

Computes 10-year risk for ASCVD (atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease) using the American Heart Association PREVENT equations (2023).

Usage

ascvd_10y_prevent(
  gender = c("male", "female"),
  age,
  sbp,
  bp_med,
  totchol,
  hdl,
  statin,
  diabetes,
  smoker,
  egfr,
  bmi,
  hba1c = NULL,
  uacr = NULL,
  zip = NULL,
  model = "auto",
  ...
)

Arguments

gender	patient gender (male, female)
age	patient age (years), between 30 and 79
sbp	Systolic blood pressure (mm Hg)
bp_med	Patient is on a blood pressure medication (1=Yes, 0=No)
totchol	Total cholesterol (mg/dL)
hdl	HDL cholesterol (mg/dL)
statin	Patient is on a statin (1=Yes, 0=No)
diabetes	Diabetes (1=Yes, 0=No)
smoker	Current smoker (1=Yes, 0=No)
egfr	Estimated glomerular filtration rate (mL/min/1.73m2)
bmi	Body mass index (kg/m2)
hba1c	Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in percent (optional)
uacr	Urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio in mg/g (optional)
zip	ZIP code for Social Deprivation Index (optional)
model	PREVENT model variant to use: "auto" (default, selects based on available data), "base", "hba1c", "uacr", "sdi", or "full"
...	Additional predictors can be passed and will be ignored

Value

10-year ASCVD risk estimate (percent)

Examples

library(CVrisk)
# Base model (default when model = "auto" and no optional predictors provided)
ascvd_10y_prevent(
  gender = "female", age = 50,
  sbp = 160, bp_med = 1,
  totchol = 200, hdl = 45,
  statin = 0, diabetes = 1, smoker = 0,
  egfr = 90, bmi = 35
)

# Explicitly specify base model
ascvd_10y_prevent(
  gender = "female", age = 50,
  sbp = 160, bp_med = 1,
  totchol = 200, hdl = 45,
  statin = 0, diabetes = 1, smoker = 0,
  egfr = 90, bmi = 35,
  model = "base"
)

# Auto model with HbA1c (will use hba1c model variant)
ascvd_10y_prevent(
  gender = "male", age = 55,
  sbp = 140, bp_med = 0,
  totchol = 213, hdl = 50,
  statin = 0, diabetes = 0, smoker = 0,
  egfr = 90, bmi = 30,
  hba1c = 6.5
)
