What is the purpose of the S2.2-46 study by Sussman et al.?
The purpose of the S2.2-46 study by Sussman et al. was to evaluate the accuracy of the atherosclerotic cardiovascular risk equation in the Women’s Health Study. This study assessed the roles of statins, revascularizations, and underascertainment in the Women’s Health Study in order to gain further insight into the cardiovascular risk calculator. The results showed that the atherosclerotic cardiovascular risk equation was modestly accurate in predicting cardiovascular risk in this population.
