Novel Prediction Equations for Absolute Risk Assessment of Total Cardiovascular Disease Incorporating Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic Health: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association
This scientific statement summarises the background, rationale & clinical implications for newly developed PREVENT (sex-specific,race-free) equations for predicting CVD risk,which include eGFR as a predictor, and adjust for competing risk of non-CVD death among adults aged 30-79.

SPS commentary:
A separate article discusses the development and validation of the AHA Predicting Risk of CVD EVENTs (PREVENT) equations, which were found to accurately and precisely predict risk for incident CVD and CVD subtypes in a large, diverse, and contemporary sample of US adults using routinely available clinical variables.
