Development and validation of a new algorithm for improved cardiovascular risk prediction

The QR4 algorithm for prediction of 10-year cardiovascular disease risk, developed, tested and externally validated in datasets comprising 16.8 million people from the United Kingdom, improves upon the QRISK3 algorithm that is in current use by incorporating new variables and refining the predictive model.

This new algorithm shows promising results in accurately predicting cardiovascular risk, which is crucial for early intervention and prevention of heart-related diseases. The advancements in risk prediction models like QR4 can potentially revolutionize the way we approach cardiovascular health and improve outcomes for millions of individuals worldwide.
