Events of CAD and Ischemic Stroke per 10 000 Individuals Screened

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.
