Episode 302: 301. Development and Validation of the American Heart Association's PREVENT Equations
Questioning Medicine06/12/24 • 11 min
At change in c stats of 0.007 or 0.0009 is not a meaningful change so I cant say we should use this over the PCE—yes this new calculator has the benefit of removal of race, and the use race-based algorithms.
We don’t know that this leads to better outcomes—is the the race algorithms that lead to worse outcomes or was it access to care or is it some other factor we don’t know yet.
I think this is worth nothing and if you want to switch you certainly can but if your goal is a calculator to be used to detect primary CAD or to use in your primary CAD population EITHER seems to be just fine at this time.
