Why the study?
Socioeconomic status is a largely unrecognized risk factor in primary prevention of cardiovascular disease, and risk scores excluding it misestimate risk across deprivation levels.

May misclassify risk by deprivation status; supports prospective validation of deprivation-adjusted scores before practice change.
Socioeconomic status is a largely unrecognized risk factor in primary prevention of cardiovascular disease. Risk scores that exclude socioeconomic deprivation as a covariate under- and overestimate the risk in the most and least deprived individuals, respectively. This study highlights the importance of incorporating socioeconomic deprivation status in risk estimation systems to ultimately reduce inequalities in health care provision for cardiovascular disease.
