Method for Determination of Each Demographic or Risk Factor
| Method of Determination | Demographic or Risk Factors |
|---|---|
| Direct export | Gender |
| Race | |
| Mean of all documented values | BMI |
| LDL | |
| Creatinine | |
| Value at most recent clinic clinical encounter* | Age |
| Synthetic Derivative search | Coronary artery disease |
| Hypertension | |
| Diabetes | |
| Statin use |
The method of determining the demographic group or presence of a risk factor is shown. A combination of direct data export, export of laboratory or clinical measurement, and Synthetic Derivative queries was used in collecting risk factor data. Details of synthetic derivative queries for coronary artery disease, hypertension, and diabetes are shown in Table 3. BMI indicates body mass index; LDL, low‐density lipoprotein.
Defined as outpatient clinic visit, inpatient consultation, or documentation of vital signs.
