Overview

Observational analysis compares SCORE2 risk categories against underlying model estimates, highlighting significant discrepancies.

Key Points

  • SCORE2 charts assigned different risk categories than the underlying model for 32.7% of patients.
  • A total of 2,164 patients showed a risk estimate ≥20% higher using SCORE2 charts compared to the model.
  • Findings indicate that SCORE2 charts overestimate cardiovascular risk, particularly at high HDL concentrations.
  • The results suggest that using calculators applying the risk model might enhance treatment accuracy for patients.
