Non-specified Framingham studies


The following studies did not specify clearly which version of Framingham scale was used and hence cannot be categorised.

Note:
  • Calibration is represented by the ratio of predicted value over observed value (e.g. a value closer to 1 indicates perfect calibration): for more information, please refer to Key Terms and Definitions
  • Discrimination is represented by the area under receiver operating curve (e.g. a value closer to 1 indicates better discrimination): for more information, please refer to Key Terms and Definitions
  • Area left blank means the information is either unavailable in the paper or the full paper is not accessible to the authors of this Wiki.
