Do the PRIMROSE BMI and lipid CVD risk prediction models improve CVD risk prediction compared to established models in people with severe mental illness?
The PRIMROSE BMI and lipid CVD risk prediction models offer improved cardiovascular risk prediction in patients with severe mental illness compared to standard models.
The PRIMROSE BMI and lipid CVD risk prediction models performed better in SMI compared with models that include only established CVD risk factors. Further work on the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the PRIMROSE models is needed to ascertain the best thresholds for offering CVD interventions.
Osborn et al. (Tue,) studied this question.
