Type 2 & other diabetes

Validation and Comparison of 10‐Year Cardiovascular Risk Prediction Models in Two Chinese Prospective Cohorts: The General Population and Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Prediction model validation study in two prospective cohorts

Authors' conclusion

Widely used 10-year CVD risk models showed acceptable or modest discrimination but substantial miscalibration in Chinese populations, especially among adults with type 2 diabetes.

Study context

Population
Chinese general population and adults with T2D, without baseline cardiovascular disease (CVD) (and without baseline diabetes in China Kadoorie Biobank (CKB)) or missing predictors
Participants
42,937 vs 14,125
Comparison
CKB-CVD, Globorisk, Framingham General CVD, WHO 2019 (both cohorts) and SCORE2-Diabetes (T2D cohort), original vs recalibrated
  • CKBn = 42,937
  • Jiangsu Biobank for the Prevention and Control of Diabetes (JBPCD)n = 14,125
Outcome
Performance of 10-year CVD risk models (ischemic heart disease or stroke): discrimination (IPCW C-statistic), calibration (E/O ratio), Brier score
Follow-up
10 years
Methodological detailsexternal validation, recalibration, 10-year inverse probability of censoring weighting (IPCW) C-statistic, E/O ratio and Brier score
  • External validation
  • Recalibration
  • 10-year IPCW C-statistic
  • E/O ratio and Brier score

Performance

As reported in the abstract

C-statistic, general population cohort

0.723-0.778

C-statistic, type 2 diabetes cohort

0.584-0.629

Original models poorly calibrated: systematic overprediction, E/O in general population cohort

1.47-3.78

Original models poorly calibrated: heterogeneous miscalibration, E/O in type 2 diabetes cohort

0.32-2.70
