+Pkg-Description: cardiovascular disease risk calculator
+ You can use this calculator to work out your risk of having a heart
+ attack or stroke over the next ten years by answering some simple
+ questions. It is suitable for people who do not already have a diagnosis
+ of heart disease or stroke.
+ .
+ The QRISK®2 algorithm has been developed by doctors and academics
+ working in the UK National Health Service and is based on routinely
+ collected data from many thousands of GPs across the country who have
+ freely contributed data for medical research.
+ .
+ Whilst QRISK2 has been developed for use in the UK, it is being used
+ internationally. For non-UK use, if the postcode field is left blank the
+ score will be calculated using an average value. Users should note,
+ however, that CVD risk is likely to be under-estimated in patients from
+ deprived areas and over-estimated for patients from affluent areas. All
+ medical decisions need to be taken by a patient in consultation with
+ their doctor. The authors and the sponsors accept no responsibility for
+ clinical use or misuse of these score.
