Key result
The Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC) predicted incident CHD, stroke, and total mortality, with AUCs ranging from 68% to 78% in men and women.
Why the study?
Does the Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC) predict the incidence of coronary heart disease, stroke, and total mortality in adults free of cardiovascular disease?
Cohort (n=17,725)
Does the Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC) predict the incidence of coronary heart disease, stroke, and total mortality in adults free of cardiovascular disease?
Effect estimate: AUC 71% (men) and 78% (women) for CHD
The FINDRISC, originally developed to estimate future diabetes risk, is also a reasonably good predictor of incident coronary heart disease, stroke, and total mortality.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
FINDRISC associated with higher CHD, stroke, and mortality risk; hypothesis-generating for cardiovascular risk stratification, needs prospective validation.
Silventoinen et al. (2005) conducted a cohort in Risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, and total mortality (n=17,725). Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC) was evaluated on Incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke, and total mortality (AUC 71% (men) and 78% (women) for CHD). The Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC) predicted incident CHD, stroke, and total mortality, with AUCs ranging from 68% to 78% in men and women.
