PREVENT equations
Pronunciation: pre-VENT
Also written as: PREVENT — Predicting Risk of cardiovascular disease EVENTs
Updated cardiovascular risk prediction models that include kidney disease and incorporate contemporary population data.
Full Definition
The PREVENT (Predicting Risk of cardiovascular disease EVENTs) equations are next-generation cardiovascular risk prediction models developed to replace the pooled cohort equations. These updated algorithms incorporate chronic kidney disease as a risk factor, use more recent and diverse population data, and provide separate models for different cardiovascular outcomes including heart failure. PREVENT equations aim to improve risk prediction accuracy across diverse populations and clinical scenarios in modern cardiovascular prevention.
Usage
Usage note: Always capitalize PREVENT; use 'equations' in plural form when referring to the complete set of prediction models.
