Implication
May modestly refine risk classification; leaves open whether adoption improves outcomes or warrants practice change.
Structured PICO
Does using long-term measures of cumulative blood pressure improve cardiovascular disease risk prediction compared to single measurements?
P
Population
Individuals assessed for cardiovascular disease risk
I
Intervention
Long-term measures of cumulative blood pressure in risk prediction models
C
Comparator
Single measurements of blood pressure in risk prediction models
O
Outcome
Ability to correctly classify individuals in terms of their risk for cardiovascular disease
Incorporating long-term cumulative blood pressure rather than single measurements modestly improves cardiovascular risk classification.
