Prediction of coronary heart disease risk in a general, pre-diabetic, and diabetic population during 10 years of follow-up: accuracy of the Framingham, SCORE, and UKPDS risk functions: The Hoorn Study
TL;DR: The Framingham function for prediction of the first CHD event is likely to overestimate an individual's absolute CHD risk, and application of the SCORE and UKPDS functions might be useful in the absence of a more valid tool.
