Development and evaluation of cardiovascular disease risk prediction models for patients with type 2 diabetes.

Tailored risk calculators for diabetes patients may predict heart disease more accurately than one-size-fits-all general tools.

Researchers developed and evaluated CVD risk prediction models specifically for type 2 diabetes patients. These disease-specific models aim to improve upon general-population risk calculators.
