Characteristics of different cardiovascular prediction models

	Age (years)	Prediction	Risk factors and variables	Comments
Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation	40–70	10-year risk for cardiovascular mortality	Age, gender, smoking habits, total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol ratio, systolic blood pressure	Multiplication by 1·5 to correct for underestimation
QRISK3	24–80	10-year risk for cardiovascular morbidity	Established risk factors and additional factors, such as the stage of chronic kidney disease (assessed in 5 grades), a measure of systolic blood pressure variability, migraine, corticosteroids, systemic lupus erythematosus, atypical antipsychotics, severe mental illness, HIV/AIDS), and erectile dysfunction in men	Helps identifying patients with highest cardiovascular risk
Expanded Risk Score in rheumatoid arthritis	All	10-year risk for cardiovascular morbidity	Rheumatoid arthritis specific factors: disease duration, disease activity, disability, and use of corticosteroids	Laboratory data are not needed; internally validated in the CORRONA registry;74 not yet externally validated
