High-risk modified SCORE based on Denmark considered being a high-risk area and the extra RA risk for the 644 patients without DM and CVD, the European low risk area SCORE reports the risk SCORE in the period since Denmark has been considered to be a low-risk area (since May 2012)

  • Median and (IQR). The number of patients without known DM and CVD are reported for low/moderate risk (<5%), high risk (5 ≤high risk <10%) and very high risk (≥10%) and the percentages of the population without DM and CVD that we obtained a risk score for and stratified by gender. For gender-specific numbers, the percentages are calculated as the share of the female or male population with no known DM and CVD when we have obtained a risk score.

  • CVD, cardiovascular disease; DM, diabetes mellitus; RA, rheumatoid arthritis.
