Prediction of thirty-year cardiovascular disease risk in psoriatic population

Abstract

In psoriatic population the Framingham risk score (FRS) has been used to assess the risk of major cardiovascular (CV) events for a 10-year follow up period^1-6. The established CV risk factors that are significant in models based on shorter follow-up duration are also related to CV disease (CVD) incidence in 30 years^7-8. Nowadays, clustering of risk factors at younger ages and increasing life expectancy suggest the need for longer-term risk prediction tools.
