Background: The Pooled Cohort Equations (PCEs) do not accurately estimate atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk in certain populations. The 2018 AHA/ACC cholesterol guideline identified risk-enhancing factors as a supplement to PCEs-based risk assessment. However, the role of each risk-enhancing factor in ASCVD risk assessment has not been well quantified.

Methods And Results: We analyzed data from young adults, aged 18 to 39 years, with untreated BP <140/90 mm Hg at baseline from Kaiser Permanente Southern California (N=355 324).
Article Synopsis
- * Researchers analyzed data from over 10 million members across eight Vaccine Safety Datalink sites from 2017 to 2020, focusing on changes in incidence rates of specific health outcomes during different phases of the pandemic.
- * Results indicated that most outcomes, including serious conditions like encephalitis and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, remained stable, while there was a notable decrease in incidence rates for several conditions during the early pandemic period.
