  • Matrices shown in panels A–F show the number of subjects classified in the three CVD risk categories (≤9.9%, 10–19% and ≥20%) by each POCT analyser compared to the laboratory method with the percentage in parentheses; JBSII (panels A and D), Framingham (panels B and E) and QRISK2 (panels C and F). Panel G summarises the overall CVD risk agreement (ie, correct classification into the three CVD categories) of the POCT analysers with the laboratory methods including any high-risk subjects that were misclassified.

  • CVD, cardiovascular disease; POCT, point-of-care testing.
