  • We will similarly summarise the data separately for the derivation and validation samples and for the original and our modified RCRI. Original RCRI is based on Lee et al.3

  • CAD, coronary artery disease; CHF, congestive heart failure; CKD-Epi, Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation; CVE, cerebrovascular events (stroke or transient ischaemic attack); eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; RCRI, Revised Cardiac Risk Index.
