The phrase "above conventional risk" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing risk assessment, investment strategies, or any situation where risks exceed typical expectations.
Example: "Investing in emerging technologies often involves taking on projects that are above conventional risk, but the potential rewards can be significant."
Alternatives: "beyond standard risk" or "greater than typical risk".
A CCTA atherosclerotic burden score based on the number of diseased coronary segments (irrespective of the degree of stenosis) correlates best with events during follow-up and can significantly improve the risk stratification over and above that of conventional risk factor assessment.
We also further demonstrated, in a general population, that their usefulness as independent biomarkers for predicting the deterioration of glycaemia, over a median interval of 5.4 years, was over and above those of conventional risk factors such as age, sex, BMI, insulin resistance and baseline 2 h post-OGTT glucose.
Compared with TT genotype of rs2236659, subjects with C allele had lower risk of CHD after adjustment for the conventional risk factors above (Crude odds ratio (OR) = 0.83, 95% CI: 0.69, 1.00; P = 0.049 and adjusted OR = 0.78, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.62, 0.98; P = 0.033 respectively) (Table 3).
Compared with GG genotype of +190G/C, subjects with CC genotype had a higher risk of CHD after adjusting for the conventional risk factors above (Crude OR = 1.33, 95% CI: 1.00 1.77, P = 0.052 and adjusted OR = 1.56, 95% CI: 1.10 2.20, P = 0.012 respectively).
25 Participants without pre-existing cardiovascular disease were therefore stratified by both their conventional risk score (above or below the threshold of 20%) and their interarm difference in systolic blood pressure (above or below 10 mm Hg).
The predictive utility of liver enzymes and bilirubin over and above conventional Framingham risk factors is limited,+ and thus, there is little support for using liver enzymes and bilirubin in any risk stratification strategies.
PWV is a well-established risk marker for cardiovascular disease, and our findings illustrate that assessment of PWV may provide additional information about patients' cardiovascular risk profile above and beyond what is revealed by conventional risk markers.
Some studies have shown that carotid IMT could improve the prediction ability for cardiovascular disease over and above conventional coronary risk factors (7, 8).
By holding the group of defined conventional risk factors constant, the prevalence of stroke in participants aged 65 years or above was 41.8 times as high as that in people aged 35 49 years (95%CI = 25.3, 69.2).
Conventional risk factors were more frequent among patients with IL-10 concentrations above median, including elevation of CRP and IL-6 but excluding previous MI and hypertension.
