Description: | Proportion of First Nations regular clients, aged 35 to 74 and with no known history of cardiovascular disease (CVD), who had an absolute CVD risk assessment recorded within the previous 24 months and whose CVD risk was categorised as one of the following:
|
Rationale: | Early identification of persons at high CVD risk is important for effective prevention and management of the underlying disease. This is particularly the case for First Nations people because of their poor CVD outcomes. Since a number of risk factors contribute to the development of CVD in a cumulative fashion, using two or more risk factors to assess risk has greater predictive power and is more accurate than considering each risk factor separately. Multiple risk factor analysis provides a better base on which to make management decisions to improve health outcomes. |

Presented as percentage. Absolute CVD risk assessment – refers to a risk assessment performed with the National Vascular Disease Prevention Alliance (NVDPA) absolute cardiovascular disease risk calculator. Where the Central Australian Rural Practitioners Association (CARPA) CVD risk assessment calculator is used, 5% is to be deducted from the reported result. |
Computation: | (Numerator ÷ Denominator) x 100 |
Numerator: | Calculation A: Number of First Nations regular clients aged 35 to 74 and with no known history of cardiovascular disease (CVD), who had an absolute CVD risk assessment recorded within the previous 24 months with risk assessed as high (greater than 15% over the next 5 years). Calculation B: Number of First Nations regular clients aged 35 to 74 and with no known history of cardiovascular disease (CVD), who had an absolute CVD risk assessment recorded within the previous 24 months with risk assessed as moderate (10–15% over the next 5 years). Calculation C: Number of First Nations regular clients aged 35 to 74 and with no known history of cardiovascular disease (CVD), who had an absolute CVD risk assessment recorded within the previous 24 months with risk assessed as low (less than 10% over the next 5 years). |
