Compute Framingham Heart Study Cardiovascular Disease 10-Year Risk Score

Source: R/compute_framingham.R
compute_framingham.Rd

Computes Framingham Heart Study Cardiovascular Disease 10-Year Risk Score (FCVD101) based on systolic blood pressure, total serum cholesterol (mg/dL), HDL serum cholesterol (mg/dL), sex, smoking status, diabetic status, and treated for hypertension flag.

Usage

compute_framingham(sysbp, chol, cholhdl, age, sex, smokefl, diabetfl, trthypfl)

Arguments

sysbp

Systolic blood pressure

A numeric vector is expected.

chol

Total serum cholesterol (mg/dL)

A numeric vector is expected.

cholhdl

HDL serum cholesterol (mg/dL)

A numeric vector is expected.

age

Age (years)

A numeric vector is expected.

sex

Gender

A character vector is expected. Expected Values: 'M' 'F'

smokefl

Smoking Status

A character vector is expected. Expected Values: 'Y' 'N'

diabetfl

Diabetic Status

A character vector is expected. Expected Values: 'Y' 'N'

trthypfl

Treated for hypertension status

A character vector is expected. Expected Values: 'Y' 'N'

Value

A numeric vector of Framingham values

Details

The predicted probability of having cardiovascular disease (CVD) within 10-years according to Framingham formula. See AHA Journal article General Cardiovascular Risk Profile for Use in Primary Care for reference.

For Men:

The equation for calculating risk:

$$RiskFactors = (log(Age) * AgeFactor) + (log(TotalChol) * TotalCholFactor) + (log(CholHDL) * CholHDLFactor) \\ + (log(SysBP) * SysBPFactor) + Smoker + Diabetes Present - AvgRisk$$

$$Risk = 100 * (1 - RiskPeriodFactor ^ exp(RiskFactors))$$
