PREVENT Risk Score for Cardiovascular Disease Events

Description

Calculates the 10-year risk of total cardiovascular disease (CVD) events using the American Heart Association's PREVENT equations. This model includes predictors such as age, sex, cholesterol, blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, eGFR, and BMI, and accounts for current treatments.

Usage

prevent_cvd_risk(age, sex, total_cholesterol, hdl_cholesterol, systolic_bp,
                 diabetes, smoking, egfr, bmi, current_treatment_hypertension,
                 current_treatment_statins)

Arguments

age	Numeric. Patient age in years (30-79).
sex	String. "Male" or "Female".
total_cholesterol	Numeric. Total cholesterol (mg/dL or mmol/L).
hdl_cholesterol	Numeric. HDL cholesterol (mg/dL or mmol/L).
systolic_bp	Numeric. Systolic blood pressure (mmHg).
diabetes	Numeric (0 or 1). History of diabetes (1 = Yes).
smoking	Numeric (0 or 1). Current smoker (1 = Yes).
egfr	Numeric. Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (mL/min/1.73m^2).
bmi	Numeric. Body Mass Index (kg/m^2).
current_treatment_hypertension	Numeric (0 or 1). Currently treated for hypertension (1 = Yes).
current_treatment_statins	Numeric (0 or 1). Currently taking statins (1 = Yes).

Value

A list containing:

PREVENT_Risk_Score_10yr	Estimated 10-year risk of CVD event.
Risk_Category	Risk classification (Low, Borderline, Intermediate, High).
