Trial Outcomes & Findings for Vascular Lifestyle-Intervention and Screening in Pharmacy (NCT NCT02223793)

NCT ID: NCT02223793

Last Updated: 2020-05-06

Results Overview

The (ad hoc) risk score was a summarization of points ranging from 0 (favorable measures) , 2 (slighly unfavourable) or 4 (very unfavorable measures) assigned for each of Total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, HbA1c, blood pressure, body mass index and age (age was included because presence of elevated cardiovascular disease risk factors is more alarming in younger age). Risk points for each risk factor was summarized into an total risk score ranging from 4 (min) to 14 (max). A total risk score of ≥4 served as inclusion criteria because it indicated moderately elevated risk of cardiovascular disease.
