CVDPREVENT: First annual audit report (9 December 2021)

Summary

This is the first annual report for CVDPREVENT, an audit commissioned by the Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP) as part of the National Clinical Audit and Patient Outcomes Programme (NCAPOP).

It presents analysis of data recorded by GPs up to March 2020, providing a pre-pandemic baseline for indicators of cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention. The analysis focuses on understanding variation in identification, diagnosis and management of people at risk of CVD against metrics of deprivation, age, sex, and ethnicity. There has also been further analysis undertaken on comorbidities amongst those with conditions that put them at a higher risk of cardiovascular disease.
