Prognostic Value of the American Heart Association PREVENT Cardiovascular Disease Risk Equations in Cancer Survivorship: A NHANES Population-Based Study (2009-2018).

ABSTRACT:

Background

The PREVENT (Predicting Risk of CVD Events) equations offer a contemporary tool for estimating long-term cardiovascular risk in the general population. This study evaluates the association of baseline cardiovascular risk, calculated by PREVENT equations, with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in cancer survivors.

Methods

Using 10 years of data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (2009-2018), we analyzed a nationally representative cohort of US cancer survivors. Associations with outcomes were evaluated using Kaplan-Meier curves and multivariable Cox models.

Results

A total of 18 722 334 weighted records (2792 unweighted) were analyzed, recording 4 875 627 all-cause deaths (26%) and 1 025 053 cardiovascular deaths (5.5%) o
