Time Horizon | Strategy | CAD | Ischemic Stroke | Events Averted | Cost saved per event averted |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
5 y | PCE alone | 184 | 31 | ||
PCE+CAD‐PRS | 157 | 29 | 29 | 13 000 | |
10 y | PCE alone | 344 | 60 | ||
PCE+CAD‐PRS | 297 | 57 | 50 | 36 000 |
Base case analysis events of coronary artery disease (CAD) and ischemic stroke when the model was applied in 10 000 individuals with borderline or intermediate risk. Pooled cohort equation (PCE)+polygenic risk score for coronary artery disease (CAD‐PRS) had ≈29 and 50 fewer events of CAD and ischemic stroke compared with PCE alone, resulting in a cost savings of $13 000 and $36 000 per event averted in 5‐ and 10‐year time horizons, respectively.
