Step 5 of 10 · Decision support
Clinical pathway
What this step shows
The patient is assigned to a clinical pathway from the history entered. The pathway decides which risk assessment is used next.
Clinical pathway
Primary Prevention — Diabetes pathway
No established CVD, but diabetes is present, so a diabetes-adjusted risk methodology applies.
How this was decided
- ✕ Established cardiovascular disease on file? (secondary prevention) No prior CVD event on file.
- ✕ Familial hypercholesterolemia suspected or confirmed? No FH flag on file.
- ✓ Diabetes present? Diabetes uses its own risk methodology rather than the standard primary-prevention calculator.
