Why the study?
Does competing risk adjustment in cardiovascular risk prediction models alter absolute risk predictions in high-risk populations?
Does competing risk adjustment in cardiovascular risk prediction models alter absolute risk predictions in high-risk populations?
Competing risk adjustment must be considered in cardiovascular risk prediction models aiming to accurately predict absolute risks, especially in high-risk populations.
Unadjusted models may overestimate risk; leaves open whether adjustment improves decision-making in high-risk groups.
Individual predictions from the model unadjusted for competing risks were higher, reflecting the different interpretations of both models. For models aiming to accurately predict absolute risks, especially in high-risk populations, competing risk adjustment must be considered.
