Cardiovascular Disease Risk Estimates in the US CKD Population Using the PREVENT Equation
The 2023 American Heart Association (AHA) Predicting Risk of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) EVENTs (PREVENT) equations incorporate estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urinary albumin-creatinine ratio (UACR). We estimated CVD risk in the US chronic kidney disease (CKD) population using PREVENT and compared the estimates to the 2013 American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology pooled cohort equations (PCEs).
