Absolute CVD risk burden assessed using two versions of the WHO/ISH risk assessment charts for the South-East Asian Region-D.
The novel aspect of this intervention is the implementation of the CAPER risk assessment charts for colorectal, 21 lung 20 and prostate 22 cancer.
Consequently, the recent European Society of Cardiology/European Atherosclerosis Society Guidelines for the Management of Dyslipidemia have included low HDL-C levels in their latest CV risk assessment charts [ 6, 9, 39].
The GP intervention includes a resource card with symptom risk assessment charts and local referral pathways implemented through multiple academic detailing visits and case studies.
Using a decision tree approach, risk assessment charts have been developed coupled with guidelines to enable clinicians to predict risk for their patients [ 6], with the estimate of risk usually covering a five year period.
To classify absolute CVD risk, individuals were evaluated using the WHO/ISH risk assessment charts for the South-East Asian Region: D. The WHO and ISH have devised two sets of risk prediction charts with and without blood cholesterol.
The Trial includes interventions at two levels: a community symptom awareness campaign ('the community intervention'); and a GP educational package incorporating symptom risk assessment charts and referral guidance which is implemented through multiple academic detailing visits and case studies ('the GP intervention').
Furthermore, the demonstration of the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit (EODMU) based upon a Risk Assessment Radar Chart is investigated.
In practical terms of applying the proposed methodology, the Thai Government can concentrate on a critical operation zone under a Risk Assessment Radar Chart, resulting in a more accurate operation and leading to a much lower number of casualties.
The co-occurrence of NCD risk factors also has important implications in the performance of individual-level risk assessment tools (WHO/ISH charts).
All sites incorporated the risk assessment into the drug charts used throughout the hospital.
