Abstract 239: A Field Synopsis of the Role of Race in Clinical Prediction Models for Cardiovascular Disease [Session Title: Poster Session II]

Conclusions: Race/ethnicity is rarely included in CVD-related CPMs, although racial and ethnic differences in outcome risk have been documented for many conditions, and several commonly used CPMs include race. Model development from cohorts including greater numbers of non-white patients may uncover additional or more consistent racial/ethnic effects.
