Cardiovascular risk prediction in adults with type 1 diabetes: the Fremantle Diabetes Study.
The performance of the Fremantle Diabetes Study cardiovascular risk equation, derived in 1240 individuals with type 2 diabetes, was assessed in a parallel cohort of 117 adults with type 1 diabetes. Despite significantly different phenotypic characteristics, the equation successfully identified adults with type 1 diabetes at increased cardiovascular risk.
