Cardiovascular risk prediction in type 2 diabetes: a comparison of 22 risk scores in primary care settings.

ABSTRACT:

Aims/hypothesis

We aimed to compare the performance of risk prediction scores for CVD (i.e., coronary heart disease and stroke), and a broader definition of CVD including atrial fibrillation and heart failure (CVD+), in individuals with type 2 diabetes.

Methods

Scores were identified through a literature review and were included irrespective of the type of predicted cardiovascular outcome or the inclusion of individuals with type 2 diabetes. Performance was assessed in a contemporary, representative sample of 168,871 UK-based individuals with type 2 diabetes (age ≥18 years without pre-existing CVD+). Missing observations were addressed using multiple imputation.

Results

We evaluated 22 scores: 13 derived in the general population and nine in individuals with type 2 di
