About this study
Official title: The Healthcare Evaluation of Absolute Risk Testing Study: A Multi-centre, Single Arm, Pragmatic Study in Primary Care Setting
The aim of this study is to demonstrate the integration and use of cardiovascular disease (CVD) integrated risk tool (IRT) in an environment as close to real-world as possible.
This study will recruit participants of both biological sexes and any ancestry or background who require and are eligible for a CVD risk assessment as part of the NHS Health Check. Those aged 45-64 years are most likely to benefit from CVD IRT and will be included in the study, as they are more likely to be asymptomatic but also derive most benefit from preventative measures.

The study will be conducted in GP surgeries as the CVD IRT will have its greatest impact if incorporated into primary care practice for early identification of patients at highest risk.
This study is a device performance evaluation.
Read the detailed description
The aim of this study is to demonstrate the integration and use of a cardiovascular disease (CVD) integrated risk tool (IRT) in an environment as close to real-world as possible.
In association with the routine healthchecks for CVD, the QRISK score will be integrated with the individuals polygenic risk score (from a blood sample) to produce the CVD IRT score, this score estimates the risk of CVD in the following 10years.
This study will recruit participants of both biological sexes and any ancestry or background who require and are eligible for a CVD risk assessment as part of the NHS Health Check. Those aged 45-64 years are most likely to benefit from CVD IRT and will be included in the study, as they are more likely to be asymptomatic but also derive most benefit from preventative measures.
The study will be conducted in GP surgeries as the CVD IRT will have its greatest impact if incorporated into primary care practice for early identification of patients at highest risk.
This study is a device performance evaluation. 1000 participants are expected to be enrolled. Of this, it is expected that 200 surveys will be completed and from those surveyed 20-30 interviewed. This would be considered an adequate determination of feasibility.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
CVD Integrated Risk TestDevice
CVD IRT (Cardiovascular Integrated Risk Tool)
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Per participant - cardiovascular integrated risk score (CVD-IRT) | Other | The CVD IRT device will generate a result based on the polygenic risk score derived from participant genomic and phenotypic information Receives: Device: CVD Integrated Risk Test |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Feasibility: Count of Participants Who Were Successfully Returned a Result
Count of non-withdrawn participants (in "Participants Receiving CVD-IRT" arm) who were successfully returned a CVD-IRT result
Measured: 1.3-8.9 months from baseline (study enrolment)
HCP Perception: Count of HCPs Recommending Test (End-of-study Questionnaire)
Count of healthcare professionals responding "likely" or "very likely" in 5-point Likert response scale ("very unlikely" / "unlikely" / "undecided" / "likely" / "very likely") to the question "Would you recommend the test to colleagues in other practices?'" in HCP end-of-study questionnaire.
Measured: End of study (8-10 months after start of study)
HCP Perception: Count of Favourable Ease-of-use Responses (Post-results Questionnaire)
Count of "Yes" responses to the statement "The CVD-IRT can be incorporated into routine primary care in a straightforward manner" in the HCP post-results questionnaire (separate questionnaire filled at the time each CVD-IRT result was returned to participants)
Measured: 1.3-8.9 months from baseline (study enrolment)
Participant Satisfaction: Count of Participants Recommending Test in Post-results Questionnaire
Count of participants responding "likely" or "very likely" in Likert 5-point response scale ("very unlikely" / "unlikely" / "undecided" / "likely" / "very likely") to the question "How likely would you be to recommend the use of this test to friends or family in similar situations?" in the questionnaire given to participants after receiving their CVD-IRT results
Measured: 1.3-10 months from baseline (study enrolment)
Participant Satisfaction: Count of Participants Who Found Test Useful in Post-results Questionnaire
Count of participants responding "Yes" to the question "Did you personally find this test useful?" in the questionnaire given to participants after receiving their CVD-IRT results

Secondary outcomes (7)
Risk Reclassification Counts
Count of participants (in the "Participants Receiving CVD-IRT" arm) up-classified by the CVD-IRT (CVD-IRT≥10%, QRISK®2<10%) / down-classified by the CVD-IRT (CVD-IRT<10%, QRISK®2≥10%) / remained high risk (CVD-IRT≥10%, QRISK®2≥10%) / remained low risk (CVD-IRT<10%, QRISK®2<10%).
Measured: 1.3-8.9 months from baseline (study enrolment)

Measured: 1.3-8.9 months from baseline (study enrolment)
HCP Impact: Count of Changed Management Decisions (Post-results Questionnaire)
Count of "Yes" responses to the statement "If the participant's CVD IRT score was greater than the participant's QRISK2 score, did this influence your management decision?" in the HCP post-results questionnaire (separate questionnaire filled at the time each CVD-IRT result was returned to participants) - responses were only recorded if CVD-IRT> QRISK2
Measured: 1.3-8.9 months from baseline (study enrolment)
Participant Perception: Count of Participants Who Agreed Genetics is Important in Post-results Questionnaire
Count of participants responding "agree" or "strongly agree" in Likert 5-point response scale ("strongly disagree" / "disagree" / "neither agree not disagree" / "agree" / "strongly agree") to the statement "When it comes to the risk of developing heart disease, genetics are as important to measure as factors such as blood pressure" in the questionnaire given to participants after receiving their CVD-IRT results
Measured: 1.3-10 months from baseline (study enrolment)
Correlation in Saliva-derived and Blood-derived CVD-IRT Scores
Some participants donated a saliva sample in addition to the blood sample (the primary DNA collection method used in this study). At the end of the study, CVD-IRT scores were also calculated from the saliva samples, and these were correlated against the blood-derived CVD-IRT scores
Measured: End of study (8-10 months after start of study)
