Need pre-made functions to calculate cardiovascular risk.

January 7, 2010 7:57 PM

Where can I find a Javascript or PHP library that can generate cardiovascular risk scores based on Framingham or other established models?

Working on a database for keeping track of patients with atherosclerosis, and it would be neat to be able to dynamically calculate their risk scores based on the information stored in the database, as well as see how their risk changes with each visit. I'm too lazy too wade through the papers, find the coefficients, and construct a function. Is there anything out there that can do the trick?

The Framingham model would be a good start, but other, newer models would be great as well (e.g. SMART, BNF, QRISK, SCORE).

Note this page. It's a set of links, each leading to a page for a specific condition. At the bottom of many of those pages is a table that gives the coefficients for the condition that the page refers to.

Or, you could just steal the javascript from this page's source.
