10-year Framingham Cardiovascular Risk Scores and 2013 ACC/AHA Cardiovascular Risk Scores in SLE and RA

SLE (N=157) RA (N=96)
Discordant Cardiovascular Risk Scores
FRS and ACC/AHA
FRS-low and ACC/AHA-high 11 (7.0%) 11 (11.5%)
FRS-high and ACC/AHA-low 0 (0.0%) 0 (0.0%)
FRS with 1.5 Multiplier and ACC/AHA
1.5xFRS-low and ACC/AHA-high 11 (7.0%) 10 (10.4%)
1.5xFRS-high and ACC/AHA-low 0 (0.0%) 2 (2.1%)
Concordant Cardiovascular Risk Scores
FRS and ACC/AHA
FRS-high and ACC/AHA-high 3 (1.9%) 12 (12.5%)
FRS-low and ACC/AHA-low 143 (91.1%) 73 (76.0%)
FRS with 1.5 Multiplier and ACC/AHA
1.5xFRS-high and ACC/AHA-high 3 (1.9%) 13 (13.5%)
1.5xFRS-low and ACC/AHA-low 143 (91.1%) 71 (74.0%)

Values are the N (%).

FRS = 10-year Framingham cardiovascular risk score.

1.5xFRS = 10-year Framingham cardiovascular risk score multiplied by 1.5.

ACC/AHA = 10-year 2013 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association cardiovascular risk score.

Low = 10-year cardiovascular risk score less than 7.5% for ACC/AHA or less than 10% for FRS and 1.5xFRS.

High = 10-year cardiovascular risk score greater than or equal to 7.5% for ACC/AHA or greater than or equal to 10% for FRS and 1.5xFRS.
