متن کاملCardiovascular risk prediction in diabetic men and women using hemoglobin A1c vs diabetes as a high-risk equivalent.
BACKGROUND It is unclear whether models that include hemoglobin A(1c) (HbA(1c)) levels only for diabetic patients improve the ability to predict cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk compared with the currently recommended classification of diabetes as a cardiovascular risk equivalent. METHODS A total of 24 674 women (including 685 diabetic participants at baseline) and 11 280 men (including 563 ...
