SCORE-Hyper Model: Explanation and Clinical Context SCORE-Hyper is a validated tool designed to estimate the 10-year risk of fatal cardiovascular events in patients with hypertension.
It considers key variables including age, sex, systolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, and smoking status.
The model incorporates coefficients specifically derived from hypertensive populations, providing more precise risk predictions compared to the general SCORE model.
Clinicians can use this tool to guide decisions regarding antihypertensive therapy, lifestyle modifications, and preventive interventions.
Higher predicted risk suggests the need for intensive risk factor management, whereas lower risk may warrant standard therapy.
