Integration with systems
Systems may have access to longitudinal health records, in particular those held in General Practice. In that case those systems may elect to use QRISK in a way that provides likely values for the variables used in the algorithm, those values being derived from the records.
That being the case, a set of query criteria and rules are applied to the record entries and the values of the variables derived. These are then presented to a user for confirmation, or amendment before being submitted as a set of parameters to the function via an API.
It is strongly recommended that for any individual decision, or potential entry of the risk score in the record, that each set of assumptions are confirmed. Purely automated calculations may be used for population based risk stratification in order to plan interventions.
Patient inclusion criteria
This section documents the criteria for a person suitable for the application of QRISK3
All dates are relative to the time at which the algorithm is applied to the patient and is referred to as the reference date.
- Aged between 25 and 84 inclusive at the reference date
• Free from a diagnosis of cardiovascular disease on or before the reference date
