* Jackson's scoring sheet was used to estimate the risk for
cardiovascular disease (CVD) death within the next 5 years. This sheet
calculates the 5–year probability of developing CVD, which is defined
as coronary heart disease as well as stroke, peripheral vascular disease,
and heart failure. (Jackson R. Updated New Zealand cardiovascular disease
risk–benefit prediction guide. BMJ 2000;320:709–10.)
