Why the study?
Does the ASCVD Pooled Cohort risk equation accurately predict ASCVD risk across different levels of social deprivation in adults without baseline ASCVD or diabetes?
Does the ASCVD Pooled Cohort risk equation accurately predict ASCVD risk across different levels of social deprivation in adults without baseline ASCVD or diabetes?
The ASCVD Pooled Cohort risk equations accurately predict risk in socially deprived individuals but overestimate risk in those with less social deprivation.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
PCEs may overestimate ASCVD risk in less-deprived groups, warranting caution for statin decisions; leaves open need for deprivation-adjusted validation.
