Barroso M, et al. - Researchers performed a crossover clinical trial on a population-based sample from Girona (north-eastern Spain) to assess the validity of a cardiovascular risk self-screening method (consisting of self-measurement of blood pressure, a point-of-care system’s assessment of lipid profile and glycated hemoglobin, and a self-administered questionnaire about sex, age, diabetes, tobacco consumption) vs the standard screening (gold standard) conducted by a health professional. They discovered that the self-screening method for evaluating cardiovascular risk provided similar results to the standard method. They reported that self-screening had a high clinical performance to rule out intermediate or high cardiovascular risk.
