BACKGROUND:Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is a predictor of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD); however, there are few algorithms incorporating Lp(a), especially from real-world settings. We developed an electronic health record (EHR)-based risk prediction algorithm including Lp(a).METHODS:Utilizing a large EHR database, we categorized Lp(a) cut points at 25, 50, and 75 mg/dL and constructed 10-year ASCVD risk prediction models incorporating Lp(a), with external validation in a pooled cohort of 4 US prospective studies. Net reclassification improvement was determined among borderline-intermediate risk patients.RESULTS:We included 5902 patients aged >= 18 years (mean age 48.7 +/- 16.7 years, 51.2% women, and 7.7% Black). Our EHR model included Lp(a), age, sex, Black race/ethnicity, systolic blood pressure, total and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, and hypertension medication. Over a mean follow-up of 6.8 years, ASCVD event rates (per 1000 person-years) ranged from 8.7 to 16.7 across Lp(a) groups. A 25 mg/dL increment in Lp(a) was associated with an adjusted hazard ratio of 1.23 (95% CI, 1.10-1.37) for composite ASCVD. Those with Lp(a) >= 75 mg/dL had an 88% higher risk of ASCVD (hazard ratio, 1.88 [95% CI, 1.30-2.70]) and more than double the risk of incident stroke (hazard ratio, 2.55 [95% CI, 1.54-4.23]). C-statistics for our EHR and EHR+Lp(a) models in our EHR training data set were 0.7475 and 0.7556, respectively, with external validation in our pooled cohort (n=21 864) of 0.7350 and 0.7368, respectively. Among those at borderline/intermediate risk, the net reclassification improvement was 21.3%.CONCLUSIONS:We show the feasibility of developing an improved ASCVD risk prediction model incorporating Lp(a) based on a real-world adult clinic population. The inclusion of Lp(a) in ASCVD prediction models can reclassify risk in patients who may benefit from more intensified ASCVD prevention efforts.
