Reynolds Risk Score for Cardiovascular Risk in Women

Description

Calculates the 10-year cardiovascular disease risk (myocardial infarction, stroke, coronary revascularization, or cardiovascular death) for women. This score improves upon the Framingham Risk Score by incorporating high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and family history.

Usage

reynolds_risk_score_women(age_years, systolic_bp_mmhg, total_cholesterol_mg_dl,
                          hdl_cholesterol_mg_dl, hs_crp_mg_l, hba1c_percent,
                          current_smoker, family_history_premature_mi)

Arguments

age_years	Numeric. Patient age in years (designed for ages 45 and older).
systolic_bp_mmhg	Numeric. Systolic blood pressure in mmHg.
total_cholesterol_mg_dl	Numeric. Total cholesterol level in mg/dL.
hdl_cholesterol_mg_dl	Numeric. HDL cholesterol level in mg/dL.
hs_crp_mg_l	Numeric. High-sensitivity C-reactive protein level in mg/L.
hba1c_percent	Numeric. Hemoglobin A1c percentage. (If non-diabetic and unknown, a standard reference value like 5.0 may be used, though clinical measurement is preferred).
current_smoker	Numeric (0 or 1). Current cigarette smoker. (1 = Yes).
family_history_premature_mi	Numeric (0 or 1). Parental history of myocardial infarction before age 60. (1 = Yes).

Value

A list containing:

Reynolds_Risk_Score	The estimated 10-year risk percentage.
Risk_Category	Classification (Low <5%, Intermediate 5-10%, High 10-20%, Very High >=20%).
