Package 'vaRiskScore'

Title: VA CVD Risk Score
Description: Estimates the predicted 10-year cardiovascular (CVD) risk score (in probability) for women military service members and veterans by inputting patient profiles. The proposed women CVD risk score improves the accuracy of the existing American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association CVD risk assessment tool in predicting long‐term CVD risk for VA women, particularly in young and racial/ethnic minority women.

VA CVD Risk Score (2021)

Description

Calculates the cardiovascular (CVD) risk score for women military service members and veterans.

Usage

vaScore(
  age = 50,
  race = 1,
  SBPTrt = 1,
  SBP = 150,
  TC = 100,
  HDL = 50,
  DM = 1,
  Smoke = 1,
  Depression = 1,
  verbose = TRUE
)

Arguments

age

Patient age (years: 1-110)

race

Patient race (1 = White, 2 = African American, 3 = Hispanic)

SBPTrt

Patient is on a blood pressure medication (1 = Yes, 0 = No)

SBP

Systolic blood pressure (mmHg: 0-300)

TC

Total cholesterol (mg/dL: 0-400)

HDL

HDL cholesterol (mg/dL: 0-200)

DM

Diabetes (1 = Yes, 0 = No)

Smoke

Current smoker (1 = Yes, 0 = No)

Depression

Major Depression (1 = Yes, 0 = No)

verbose

logical: should input (patient profile) be printed.

Value

Estimated 10-year CVD Risk for VA women military service members and veterans.
