Conclusion
The agreement between CV-risk predictions of Framingham score and
WHO/ISH charts was not satisfactory in Sri Lankans. However, the two
versions (standard and low information models) of the Framingham score
were in good agreement. Similarly, the two versions of the WHO/ISH
charts (standard and low information models) were also in good
agreement.
Therefore, in the absence of a specific or validated risk model for
South Asians, using the same risk model in serial risk calculations of
individual patients would be the best.
