What is the estimated 10-year incidence of coronary death or non-fatal MI for CKD patients aged o50 years?
The 10-year incidence of coronary death or non-fatal MI may be estimated using any validated risk prediction tool such as the Framingham risk score,38 or the QRISK2.42 Overall, these instruments tend to overestimate future coronary risk and usually incorporate information on LDL-C. However, since most do not explicitly consider the presence of CKD, which would be expected to increase coronary risk for any given set of traditional cardiovascular risk factors, such overestimation should be less pronounced in CKD populations.
