Does the addition of common CIMT measurements to the Framingham Risk Score improve 10-year risk prediction of first-time myocardial infarction or stroke?
Individuals assessed for cardiovascular risk
Addition of common carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) measurements to the Framingham Risk Score
Framingham Risk Score alone
10-year risk prediction of first-time myocardial infarction or stroke
Adding common CIMT measurements to the Framingham Risk Score provides only a small, clinically unimportant improvement in predicting 10-year risk of first-time MI or stroke.
The addition of common CIMT measurements to the Framingham Risk Score was associated with small improvement in 10-year risk prediction of first-time myocardial infarction or stroke, but this improvement is unlikely to be of clinical importance.
