Recommendations

As issued by the authors

  1. PREVENT equations enable 10- and 30-year risk estimates for total cardiovascular disease (CVD) (composite of atherosclerotic CVD and HF), include eGFR as a predictor, and adjust for competing risk of non-CVD death among adults 30 to 79 years

  2. Additional models add cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) factors when clinically indicated for measurement (urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio and hemoglobin A1c) or social determinants of health (social deprivation index) when available
