Abstract:Objective:
The risk of cardiovascular (CVD) events increases for four weeks following a respiratory infection. This short-term increase in risk may be an opportunity for clinical intervention, providing one could predict the risk of infection-related CVD. We therefore sought to develop and validate a risk prediction model for use in patients with respiratory infections in primary care.
Design and method:
We used routinely collected data from two UK gene… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
