Table 1.

Base-case event risks, relative risks, and quality-of-life adjustment factors.

Risk in PP Risk in SP RR on statin Q
Stable angina 4.8 * 0.59 0.81
Unstable angina 1.8 * 0.72 0.77
MI, nonlethal 3.8 18.5 0.66 0.76
MI, lethal 2.1 15.2 0.74 0
TIA 2.2 2.2 0.79 1
Stroke, nonlethal 6.0 2.2 0.77 0.63
Stroke, lethal 1.4 1.4 1 0
Lobar ICH, nonlethal 113.4 1.68 0.47
Lobar ICH, lethal 26.6 0
Deep ICH, nonlethal 16.7 0.45
Deep ICH, lethal 4.3 0

PP, primary prevention. SP, secondary prevention, i.e. >1 year post-MI. Q, quality of life adjustment factor. Risks are expressed as number of events per 1000 patients per year.

Asterisks * for the risk of stable and unstable angina post-MI signify that, in the model, these lower risk health states are not accessible after an MI.
