The Healthcare Evaluation of Absolute Risk Testing Study

The aim of this study is to demonstrate the integration and use of cardiovascular disease (CVD) integrated risk tool (IRT) in an environment as close to real-world as possible. This study will recruit participants of both biological sexes and any ancestry or background who require and are eligible for a CVD risk assessment as part of the NHS Health Check. Those aged 45-64 years are most likely to benefit from CVD IRT and will be included in the study, as they are more likely to be asymptomatic but also derive most benefit from preventative measures. The study will be conducted in GP surgeries as the CVD IRT will have its greatest impact if incorporated into primary care practice for early identification of patients at highest risk. This study is a device performance evaluation.

The aim of this study is to demonstrate the integration and use of a cardiovascular disease (CVD) integrated risk tool (IRT) in an environment as close to real-world as possible. In association with the routine healthchecks for CVD, the QRISK score will be integrated with the individuals polygenic risk score (from a blood sample) to produce the CVD IRT score, this score estimates the risk of CVD in the following 10years. This study will recruit participants of both biological sexes and any ancestry or background who require and are eligible for a CVD risk assessment as part of the NHS Health Check. Those aged 45-64 years are most likely to benefit from CVD IRT and will be included in the study, as they are more likely to be asymptomatic but also derive most benefit from preventative measures. The study will be conducted in GP surgeries as the CVD IRT will have its greatest impact if incorporated into primary care practice for early identification of patients at highest risk. This study is a device performance evaluation. 1000 participants are expected to be enrolled. Of this, it is expected that 200 surveys will be completed and from those surveyed 20-30 interviewed. This would be considered an adequate determination of feasibility.
