Prediction of Cardiovascular Risk Among People with HIV Using the PREVENT Equations Compared to the Pooled Cohort Equations
The PREVENT equations predict lower 10-year ASVCD risk for PWH compared to the PCE, which underpredicts risk for PWH. Underprediction of ASCVD risk, which -using new guidelines -would translate to 58% fewer PWH strongly recommended for statins using PREVENT compared to PCE, has the potential to increase cardiovascular disease and worsen healthcare disparities among PWH.
