QRISK®2 is a well-established cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk score, in use across the NHS since 2009, which is designed to identify people at high risk of developing CVD who need to be recalled and assessed in more detail to reduce their risk of developing CVD. The QRISK®2 score estimates the risk of a person developing CVD over the next 10 years. QRISK®2 has been specifically developed by doctors and academics for use in the UK. The original research underpinning QRISK® was published in July 2007 in the British Medical Journal and in January 2008 in Heart journal. The original research underpinning version 2 of QRISK® (QRISK®2) has been published in the British Medical Journal in June 2008. The research was done using the QResearch anonymised medical research database which consists of the electronic health records of over 10 million patients registered with 550 general practices using the EMIS clinical computer system of whom 2 million contributed to the QResearch database. All medical decisions relating to the QRISK®2 score need to be taken by a patient in consultation with their doctor. The authors, University of Nottingham, ClinRisk and EMIS accept no responsibility for clinical use or misuse of the score. (http://www.qrisk.org/)
