In 2010, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) ceased recommending any single risk scale (1) for the assessment of cardiovascular risk in primary prevention due to a lack of evidence that the previously recommended Framingham-Anderson scale was more predictive than other existing scales. This was amended in the 2014 . . . Read more

Integrating risk vs. benefit scales (e.g. primary prevention treatment vs. bleeding risk) As discussed in Structure of this Wiki, risk assessment scales are generated to assist physicians in decision making to implement interventions that will reduce the risk of an identified illness. However, both sides of the balance scale must be . . . Read more
