All scores except the D:A:D score estimate a 10-year CVD risk.

*D:A:D score estimates a 5 -year CVD risk. High risk (>5%), intermediate risk (1%–5%), low risk (<1%).

†FRS: Lifetime risk was derived using the Framingham 30-year CVD risk with lipids. Ten-year risk was derived using the score with lipids.

‡ASCVD: 10-year risk estimation and statin recommendations for 40–79 years (n=202). Lifetime risk estimated for 20–59 years (n=361). High risk (≥7.5%), intermediate risk (5%–7.5%), low risk (<5%).

§QRISK2: Lifetime risk estimation was done using the QRISK lifetime CVD risk calculator, statin recommendations were based on NICE guidelines.

¶Per cent difference was calculated as: ((cumulative CVD risk of study population - cumulative CVD risk of normal population)/cumulative CVD risk of normal population)*100. The risks for the normal populations were abstracted from the risk calculators of the respective scores from their official websites.
