MESA 2015 CHD risk score

Source: R/chd_10y_mesa.R

Computes 10-year risk for hard coronary heart disease (CHD) event (defined as first occurrence of myocardial infarction (MI), resuscitated cardiac arrest, CHD death, or revascularization with prior or concurrent adjudicated angina).

chd_10y_mesa(
  race = "white",
  gender = c("male", "female"),
  age,
  totchol = NA,
  hdl = NA,
  lipid_med = NA,
  sbp = NA,
  bp_med = NA,
  smoker = NA,
  diabetes = NA,
  fh_heartattack = NA,
  ...
)

Arguments

race

patient race/ethnicity (white, aa, chinese, or hispanic)

gender

patient gender (male, female)

age

patient age (years), risk computed for 45-85 year olds

totchol

Total cholesterol (mg/dL)

hdl

HDL cholesterol (mg/dL)

lipid_med

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

sbp

Systolic blood pressure (mm Hg)

bp_med

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

smoker

Current smoker (1=Yes, 0=No)

diabetes

Diabetes (1=Yes, 0=No)

fh_heartattack

Family history of heart attacks (parents, siblings ,or children) (1=Yes, 0=No)

...

Additional predictors can be passed and will be ignored

Value

Estimated 10-Y Risk for hard CAD event (percent)
