Clinical code usage in UK general practice: a cohort study exploring 18 conditions over 14 years
Conclusions This is an under-reported research area and the findings suggest the codes’ usage diversity for most conditions remained overall stable throughout the study period. Generated mental health code lists can last for a long time unlike cardiometabolic conditions and cancer. Adopting more consistent and less diverse coding would help improve data quality in primary care. Future research is needed following the transfer to the Systematised Nomenclature of Medicine Clinical Terms (SNOMED CT) coding.

Social bias in artificial intelligence algorithms designed to improve cardiovascular risk assessment relative to the Framingham Risk Score: a protocol for a systematic review
This study will employ an equity-lens to identify sources of bias (ie, race/ethnicity, gender and social stratum) in ML algorithms designed to improve CVD risk assessment relative to the FRS. A comprehensive literature search will be completed using MEDLINE, Embase and IEEE to answer the research question: do AI algorithms that are designed for the estimation of CVD risk and that compare performance with the FRS address the sources of bias inherent in the FRS? No study date filters will be imposed on the search, but English language filters will be applied. Studies describing a specific algorithm or ML approach that provid...

Is there benefit to adding ezetimibe to a statin for the secondary prevention of CVD?
J Fam Pract. 2023 Jun;72(5):227-229. doi: 10.12788/jfp.0610.ABSTRACTYES. In patients with known cardiovascular disease (CVD), ezetimibe with a statin decreases major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) but has no effect on all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, compared to a statin alone (strength of recommendation [SOR], A; meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials [RCTs] including 1 large RCT). In adults with atherosclerotic CVD (ASCVD), the combination of ezetimibe and a moderate-intensity statin (rosuvastatin 10 mg) was noninferior at decreasing cardiovascular death, major cardiovascular events, and nonfatal stro...
