Assessment of cardiovascular risk factors in people with HIV infection treated with ART in rural South Africa: a cross sectional study

Table 3 Comparison between CVD risk estimation using DAD and Framingham equations

Cardiovascular disease risk	FRAMINGHAM (N = 164)
Cardiovascular disease risk	Low risk (<10 %)	Moderate risk (10–20 %)	High risk (>20 %)
DAD (N = 164)
Low risk (<10 %)	113	0	0
Moderate risk (1–5 %)	37	8	0
High risk and very high risk (>5 %)	3	3	0
Agreement	73.8 %
Kappa (p-value)	0.23 (0.001)
95 % CI for Kappa	0.10–0.35

	DAD risk estimations on all participants
	Low risk (<1 %)	Moderate risk (1–5 %)	High risk (5.1–10 %)	Very high risk (>10 %)
All participants (N = 214)	143 (66.8 %)	62 (29 %)	4 (1.9 %)	5 (2.3 %)
