framingham_risk

Functions for calculating the Framingham Risk Score (FRS) for 10-year cardiovascular risk (D’Agostino et al. 2008).

Installation

Install via pip:

pip install git+https://github.com/fonnesbeck/framingham_risk.git

Usage

Here are sample calculations using the frs function:

>>> from frs import frs
>>> frs(gender='F', time=10, age=35, bmi=24.3, sbp=122, ht_treat=False, smk=True, dia=False)
0.029352227213368165
>>> X = ['m', 10, 30, 22.5, 125.0, True, True, True]
>>> frs(*X)
0.0838895
>>> years = np.arange(10)+1
>>> frs(gender='F', time=years, age=35, bmi=24.3, sbp=122, ht_trea, t=False, smk=True, dia=False)
array([ 0.00123038,  0.00502448,  0.00700481,  0.01045945,  0.01222148,
        0.01525839,  0.01903776,  0.02146276,  0.02506614,  0.02935223])
