Discrimination and calibration performance statistics for risk score models in estimating the 10-year risk of CVD death

ROC AUC (95% CI) 0.858 (0.786 – 0.929) 0.877 (0.827 – 0.927) 0.877 (0.827 – 0.927)

*An outlier was excluded from quintile 1 (1 death) in the calculation of the Hosmer-Lemeshow test, owing to its undue influence on the test. Including this outlier would result in the Hosmer-Lemeshow X2 = 14.35, p-value = 0.0025, and the risk score model being assessed as not calibrated. This outlier did not represent a woman with elevated risk factors associated with increased CVD risk, on further examination.
