Including educational status may improve cardiovascular risk calculations such as SCORE2
Measuring educational status is cost-free and easy for clinicians to obtain. We believe cardiovascular risk prediction models such as SCORE2 may more accurately reflect individual risk if educational status is also taken into account. Additionally, we believe clinicians need to understand and appropriately address educational status as a risk factor, to better quantify individual risk and take appropriate measures to reduce risk so that the association may finally be broken.
