| Dichotomous Clinical Risk Parameters | Clinical Risk Score Points |
|---|---|
| Previous stroke or PAD | 3 |
| Male sex | 2 |
| Obesity (BMI >30 kg/m2) | 2 |
| Current smoking | 2 |

The range of clinical risk scores=0 to 32 and points for each of applicable variables need to be added to each other. BMI indicates body mass index; CAD, coronary artery disease; MI, myocardial infarction; PAD, peripheral artery disease.
