We are inviting quotes from providers to conduct an evidential review as the first component of revising the cardiovascular disease risk assessment guidelines.
The cardiovascular disease risk assessment (CVDRA) equations in the New Zealand Primary Care Handbook 2012 (Updated 2013) have been recently shown to overestimate risk levels. Furthermore, since the last update there have been significant changes to risk treatment thresholds internationally. As a result, a clinical guideline update is required to reflect the latest evidence.
The evidential review is the first step in the guideline update process. The potential provider will establish and manage a guideline development group (GDG) of subject matter experts experienced with systematic reviews. The GDG will be tasked with producing a summary of the changes to the evidence/findings since the last guideline update in 2012. The summary will be used to inform the next phase of the guideline update process.
The CVD Guideline update will include other aspects of secondary management and not only focus on cardiovascular diasease risk assessments.
