Source: R/ascvd_prevent.R
ascvd_30y_prevent.Rd

Computes 30-year risk for ASCVD (atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease) using the American Heart Association PREVENT equations (2023).

Usage

ascvd_30y_prevent(
  gender = c("male", "female"),
  age,
  sbp,
  bp_med,
  totchol,
  hdl,
  statin,
  diabetes,
  smoker,
  egfr,
  bmi,
  hba1c = NULL,
  uacr = NULL,
  zip = NULL,
  model = "auto",
  ...
)

Arguments

gender

patient gender (male, female)

age

patient age (years), between 30 and 79

sbp

Systolic blood pressure (mm Hg)

bp_med

Patient is on a blood pressure medication (1=Yes, 0=No)

totchol

Total cholesterol (mg/dL)

hdl

HDL cholesterol (mg/dL)

statin

Patient is on a statin (1=Yes, 0=No)

diabetes

Diabetes (1=Yes, 0=No)

smoker

Current smoker (1=Yes, 0=No)

egfr

Estimated glomerular filtration rate (mL/min/1.73m2)

bmi

Body mass index (kg/m2)

hba1c

Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in percent (optional)

uacr

Urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio in mg/g (optional)

zip

ZIP code for Social Deprivation Index (optional)

model

PREVENT model variant to use: "auto" (default, selects based on available data), "base", "hba1c", "uacr", "sdi", or "full"

...

Additional predictors can be passed and will be ignored

Value

30-year ASCVD risk estimate (percent)
