Adapting cardiovascular risk prediction models to different populations: the need for recalibration

Graphical AbstractOpen in new tabDownload slidePairwise overlap in individuals classed as high risk according to four different CVD risk algorithms, before and after recalibration. The figure is from a previously published EHJ paper which compared the performance of four risk scores using data from 86 cohort studies involved in the Emerging Risk Factors Collaboration.1 FRS, Framingham Risk Score; SCORE, Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation (SCORE) risk models; PCE, Pooled Cohort Equations; RRS, Reynolds Risk Score.
