Systematic Review of Validity Assessments of Framingham Risk Score Results in Health Economic Modelling of Lipid-Modifying Therapies in Europe
BACKGROUND The Framingham Risk Score is used both in the clinical setting and in health economic analyses to predict the risk for future coronary heart disease events. Based on an American population, the Framingham Risk Score has been criticised for potential overestimation of risk in European populations. OBJECTIVE We investigated whether the use of the Framingham Risk Score actually was va...
متن کاملPractical use of the Framingham risk score in primary prevention: Canadian perspective.

SOURCES OF INFORMATION Initial review of the references provided with the guidelines led to a search of the PubMed, ACP Journal Club, and Cochrane databases using the key words primary prevention and statin for English language clinical trials, randomized controlled tr...
متن کاملFramingham Risk Score with Cardiovascular Events in Chronic Kidney Disease
The Framingham Risk Score (FRS) was developed to predict coronary heart disease in various populations, and it tended to under-estimate the risk in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Our objectives were to determine whether FRS was associated with cardiovascular events, and to evaluate the role of new risk markers and echocardiographic parameters when they were added to a FRS model. This st...
متن کاملCorrelation study of Framingham risk score and vascular dementia
Vascular dementia (VaD) is one of the most common forms of dementia, and second only to Alzheimer's disease. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential diagnostic value of Framingham risk score (FRS) in VaD by investigating the relationship among cardiovascular risks, FRS, and VaD.Data were collected from patients (n = 130) at Tongji Hospital in Wuhan, China. They were divided into...
متن کاملFramingham risk score inadequately predicts cardiac risk in young patients presenting with a first myocardial infarction.
INTRODUCTION The Framingham Risk Score (FRS) is a well-validated epidemiologic tool used to assess the risk for a fi rst cardiac event. Because young patients presenting with a fi rst myocardial infarction (MI) tend to have less significant risk profiles compared with older patients, we hypothesized that FRS may underestimate cardiac risk in these patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS We studied 12...
