Optimal risk assessment intervals for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease: a population-based two-stage landmarking study
Our evidence suggests that CVD risk assessment intervals for primary prevention should be stratified by sex, initial risk level and age. For the UK population, our method found risk assessment intervals that reduce the number of assessments required while shortening the waiting time to the next assessment for those most in need.
