Equation verification pending

Numeric risk estimate is temporarily withheldThe coefficient set and baseline survival in the supplied code could not be verified against the cited ARIC publication. To avoid presenting a potentially misleading 10-year cardiovascular risk, this version validates the entered data but does not calculate or display a risk percentage.

About this model

The original page describes an ARIC-derived cardiovascular risk prediction model for adults with type 2 diabetes. The supplied implementation uses age, sex, systolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, smoking status, antihypertensive medication use, and diabetes duration.

However, the implementation alone does not establish that its coefficients, variable transformations, baseline survival, endpoint definition, or time horizon match the original published model. These details must be checked against the primary publication and its supplementary equation before a clinical estimate can be safely restored.

Variables in the supplied implementation

Variable	Unit / coding
Age	Years
Sex	Male = 1; female = 0 (as coded in original file)
Systolic blood pressure	mmHg
Total cholesterol	mg/dL
HDL cholesterol	mg/dL
Current smoker	Yes = 1; no = 0
Antihypertensive medication	Yes = 1; no = 0
Diabetes duration	Years

DOI listed in the original file: 10.2337/dc12-0623. The citation and equation correspondence still require confirmation before clinical deployment.

Clinical disclaimer: This page is not currently producing a cardiovascular risk estimate. Do not use the supplied coefficient approximation for clinical decisions until the original model equation, outcome definition, predictor coding, baseline survival, and applicable population have been verified. This input form is not a substitute for clinical assessment or a validated risk calculator.
