PooledCohort: Predict 10-Year Risk for Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease
The 2017 American College of Cardiology and American Heart
Association blood pressure guideline recommends using 10-year predicted
atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk to guide the decision to
initiate or intensify antihypertensive medication. The guideline recommends
using the Pooled Cohort risk prediction equations to predict 10-year
atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk. This package implements the
original Pooled Cohort risk prediction equations and also incorporates
updated versions based on more contemporary data and statistical methods.
