  • We used to think about troponin as sort of a dichotomous test that either comes back positive or negative, and if it comes back positive your patient is having a heart attack and if it comes back negative they're probably low risk," she said. (tctmd.com)
  • Population characteristics for the model were obtained from NHANES 2001-2004 and incidence rates and performance of two noninvasive diabetes risk scores (German diabetes risk score, GDRS, and ARIC 2009 score) were determined in the ARIC and Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS). (springer.com)
  • Intervening in those with ≥ 7% diabetes risk based on the GDRS or ≥ 9% on the ARIC 2009 score would be cost-effective. (springer.com)
  • Diabetes risk scores allow calculation of predicted risk based on several individual characteristics. (springer.com)
  • Selecting such thresholds is difficult given that risk scores have a continuous association with diabetes risk. (springer.com)
  • We are not aware of studies applying cost-effectiveness analysis to the application of diabetes risk scores alone or to a two-step screening procedure as described above. (springer.com)
  • The aim of this study was to apply the framework of cost-effectiveness analysis to identify optimal thresholds of predicted risk from noninvasive diabetes risk scores to target a low-cost community-based intervention. (springer.com)
  • There is significant heterogeneity in the incidence and severity of diabetes-associated vascular complications, with limitations to clinical surrogate risk factors and glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) as risk stratifiers. (edu.au)

  • This review examined the approaches used for CVD risk assessments in CKD patients using the concept of integrated risk factors. (minervamedica.it)
  • Results: Using data from 7094 farm crashes that occurred between 2005 and 2010 in nine mid-western states, we demonstrate and discuss predictive model fitting approaches, model validation techniques using external datasets, and the calculation and interpretation of predicted probabilities.

(bvsalud.org)
  • Seventy-nine articles (26%) excluded treated individuals from their analysis, 80 articles (26%) modelled treatment as an outcome, and of the 155 articles that developed a model, 86 (55%) modelled treatment use, almost exclusively at baseline, as a predictor. (biomedcentral.com)
