Developing and validating a cardiovascular risk score for patients in the community with prior cardiovascular disease
Conclusions
The PREDICT-CVD secondary prevention score uses routine measurements from clinical practice that enable it to be implemented in a primary care setting. The score will facilitate risk communication between primary care practitioners and patients with prior CVD, particularly as a resource to show the benefit of risk factor modification.
