Coronary Artery Disease Consortium Score (Low Prevalence Model)

Description

This function implements the CAD Consortium model (BMJ 2012, Table 2 - Low Prevalence) to estimate the pre-test probability of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients based on age, sex, symptoms, and cardiovascular risk factors.

There are two models available: - Basic model: age, sex, chest pain type - Clinical model: includes additional risk factors (diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidaemia, smoking)

Chest Pain Types: - 1: Non-anginal - 2: Atypical angina - 3: Typical angina

The function uses published odds ratios to compute a logistic regression-based probability of CAD, expressed as a percentage. When 'classify = TRUE', it returns a risk category: - Low (<15 - Intermediate (15–50 - High (50–85 - Very High (>85

Usage

CAD_Consortium_func(
  Age,
  Sex,
  ChestPainType,
  Diabetes = 0,
  Hypertension = 0,
  Dyslipidaemia = 0,
  Smoking = 0,
  model_type = "clinical",
  classify = FALSE
)

Arguments

Age	A numeric value for age in years.
Sex	A character vector ("male" or "female").
ChestPainType	A numeric value: 1 (non-anginal), 2 (atypical angina), or 3 (typical angina).
Diabetes	A binary value: 1 = yes, 0 = no.
Hypertension	A binary value: 1 = yes, 0 = no.
Dyslipidaemia	A binary value: 1 = yes, 0 = no.
Smoking	A binary value: 1 = yes, 0 = no.
model_type	A character value, "basic" or "clinical". Defaults to "clinical".
classify	A logical value. If TRUE, returns a risk category; if FALSE, returns numeric probability.

Value

A numeric value representing the pre-test probability (

Examples

# Basic model
CAD_Consortium_func(Age = 60, Sex = "male", ChestPainType = 3, model_type = "basic")

# Clinical model with risk classification
CAD_Consortium_func(Age = 55, Sex = "female", ChestPainType = 2, Diabetes = 1,
  Hypertension = 1, Dyslipidaemia = 1, Smoking = 0, model_type = "clinical", classify = TRUE)
