Hypothesis
Combat injury would be associated with an increased 10-year predicted cardiovascular disease risk at FU1.
Summary
Aim: We aim to assess the 10-year predicted cardiovascular disease risk using the Q-Risk3 assessment tool for the injured versus the uninjured ADVANCE cohort for FU1 and compare with baseline if relevant.
Methods: This project will involve analysis of the Q-risk data (sociodemographic, medication, CVD history, other medical data) collected at FU1 visit. We request to access the Postcode data (as a measure of socioeconomic deprivation); which could not be included in the baseline analysis. We also plan to conduct the sensitivity analysis with and without the postcode data (given there are duplicates in the postcode data which limits its use in the Q-risk calculation). The secondary outcomes would include the association between the Q-risk score and injury severity and injury mechanism.
Types of data to be analysed: FU1 CRF (injury details, socio-demographic, military characteristics) and Q-risk data.
