Description

Pan American Health Organization commissionedGEDIC and Pixeloide Studios for the development of this applicationIt is entirely based on the formula that the World HealthOrganization propose for estimating cardiovascular risk in LatinAmerica, zone AMR-B. (2007 – ISBN: 978 92 4 154717 8). This riskassessment score takes into account various regional adaptationsbased on the findings of Framingham study.

Choice of language and of cholesterol an metric units

By selecting the gear icon you can change the language (Englishor Spanish), the units of cholesterol (mmol/l or mg/dl), and themetric units (decimal or imperial cm in feet and inches)

Initial calculation of individual risk

It is very easy to use. By entering in six different criteriaabout the individual and selecting the option “calculate,” theapproximate risk of developing significant cardiovascular diseasesin the next 10 years is calculated (myocardial infarction, anginapectoris, stroke).

It is considered low risk to show an incidence rate less than10% in 10 years, or less than 1% a year. Another way to interpretthese results is that 1 out of 100 people in this situation is atrisk each year; 10 people in a decade. On the other extreme, veryhigh risk would be more than 40% in the next 10 years, indicatingthat of 100 people, 4 will suffer from cardiovascular disease peryear, and 40 will show signs in the next 10 years; almost 1 out of2.

The calculator is more precise when cholesterol levels areintroduced, however it allows for calculation without this number-if it is not available.

What would happen if...

Once the risk estimate is obtained, it evaluates different waysthat it can be modified by correcting factors such as tobacco use,high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. It is considered idealnot to smoke, to have blood pressure lower than 140/90 andcholesterol levels under 200. Through this calculation, the userscan see how quitting smoking lowers their risk by half, or that bychanging any one of those 3 factors the estimated risk shifts fromvery high to very low, demonstrating how one can influence theiroutcome. Age and sex cannot be modified, and although diabetes isentered in as part of the analysis, it is not based on blood sugarlevels or other criteria.

Validation of this application

We created an algorithm that replicates the use of the classiccolor charts. The validation process took place in differentphases. For the current version, 100 random cases wereindependently compiled and classified independently by a group ofdoctors and technicians, using the calculator and the form. Next,the discrepancies were analyzed. Of the 100 cases, totalconcordance was found after correcting a typing error in thecalculator and 4 classification errors in the color chart. Thisgives us the certainty that the algorithm reflects the exact use ofthe classic charts and facilitates the estimation of risk and theeventual benefits of making improvement. Nevertheless, we welcomeany detection of unexpected errors.

Evicardio was designed to provide theclinician and investigator with a database of more than 800randomized clinical trials in cardiology, than may collaborate inthe evidence base clinical practice.The application includes four main toolsClinical trials databaseNew data calculatorMy trials (a personal database with new data)Evidence based cardiology manual (only in Spanish)1) Clinical trials databaseThe information may be consulted traditionally as abstracts, andmore powerfully with two statistical "calculators":a)Clinical trials events:Evaluates drug/intervention trials with the parameters of evidencebased medicine (EBM): statistical significance, absolute riskreduction (ARR), risk reduction (RR), relative risk reduction(RRR), number necessary to treat NNT, and odds ratio (OR);b) Metaanalysis: to evaluate with the method of Mantel HanszelPeto the main effect of series of clinical trials. Trials may beselected using 4 criteria of search (acronym, drug/intervention,therapeutic group, disease) and each event can be analyzedindividually or in an overview grouping essays with similardesigns. The analysis can be saved in your personal archive.2) New data calculatorEvicardio allows you to enter new trials in your personaldatabase, using this two calculators (events in a single trial,metaanalysis of many trials and a third for Diagnostic tests: toevaluate diagnostic methods (sensitivity, specificity, positive andnegative predictive value, likelihood ratio, post test) and alsogives you the chance to change the prevalence in order to estimatethe probability in different risk populations. All the data can besaved and accede afterwards in your personal database.3) My trialsYou can keep in your file new information read from the papers, oradd to previous metaanalysis new data.Evicardio was developed by GEDIC.
