Here, we aimed to investigate whether gender and age are contributing the misclassification of CV risk in RA patients. Methods Prospectively collected data on factors incident events from Nijmegen inception cohort were analyzed, with up 10 years follow-up. Original as well EULAR-modified (M)_SCORE algorithms used calculate Patients stratified deciles according predicted risk; Hosmer-Lemeshow...
