Calculate ACCF/AHA/ACP/AATS/PCNA/SCAI/STS 2012 PTP for obstructive CAD

This function returns a patient's pre-test Probability (PTP) of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) based on the American College of Cardiology Foundation, American Heart Association, American College of Physicians, American Association for Thoracic Surgery, Preventive Cardiovascular Nurses Association, Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions, and Society of Thoracic Surgeons 2012 guidelines.

Usage

calculate_aha_2012_tbl_9_ptp(
  age,
  sex,
  chest_pain_type,
  output = c("numeric", "percentage")
)

Arguments

age

Input integer value to indicate the age of the patient.

sex

Input characters (female, male) to indicate the sex of the patient.

• female

• male

chest_pain_type

Input characters (typical, atypical, nonanginal) to indicate the chest pain characteristics of the patient.

• typical stands for the patient having typical chest pain.

• atypical stands for the patient having atypical chest pain.

• nonanginal stands for the patient having nonanginal or non-specific chest pain.

output

Input text to indicate the how pre-test probability results be expressed Default: c("numeric", "percentage")

• numeric means the PTP will be expressed as an integer probability (0-100).

• percentage means the PTP will be expressed as percentage text (0-100%).

Value

An integer or percentage representing the patient's PTP for obstructive CAD based on the ACCF/AHA/ACP/AATS/PCNA/SCAI/STS 2012 guidelines.

Details

The predictive model used to create the guidelines are based on patients from the Diamond and Forrester and the Coronary Artery Surgery Study.

Examples

# 35 year old female with typical chest pain
calculate_aha_2012_tbl_9_ptp(
    age = 35,
    sex = "female",
    chest_pain_type = "typical",
    output = "percentage"
)
#> [1] "26%"

# 65 year old male with nonanginal chest pain
calculate_aha_2012_tbl_9_ptp(
    age = 65,
    sex = "male",
    chest_pain_type = "nonanginal",
    output = "percentage"
)
#> [1] "27%"
