Cardiovascular events in hospitalised patients with schizophrenia: a survival analysis.

CONCLUSION: The ASCVD items should be included in the medical assessment in any patient with severe mental illness. Key points The major composite outcome of cardiovascular events rate was equal to 9.0 per 100 patient-years. The secondary composite outcome of cardiovascular events rate was equal to 7.2 per 100 patient-years (0.072 events per patient). The association between survival curve of patients with high and low CVR according to FRS score tended to significance. Patients classified as high cardiovascular risk according to ASCVD presented a reduced cardiovascular survival. The ASCVD items should be included in the medical assessment in any patient with severe mental illness. PMID: 30741069 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
