- Abstract
The article discusses the study which evaluated the QRISK lifetime risk estimates for patients with and without rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). It cites arguments that evidence on longitudinal performance including external validation of the calculator is necessary before it can be applied in clinical decision making for RA patients. It suggests that QRISK lifetime seems to inaccurately calculate the cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk for RA patients with CKD.
