SCORE2 and SCORE2-OP
SCORE2 («Systematic COronary Risk Evaluation», age 40–69 years) and SCORE2-OP («Older Persons», age 70–89 years) were developed by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC). This allows estimation of the 10-year risk of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular disease (CVD) in individuals without previous CVD or diabetes based on sex, age, systolic blood pressure, non-HDL cholesterol, and smoking status.
It should be noted that a different risk table must be used depending on the country. The calculator is calibrated for Switzerland and uses the table for low overall risk of cardiovascular disease. The other risk tables can be found in the respective publications: SCORE2 (https://doi.org/10.1093/eurheartj/ehab309), SCORE2-OP (https://doi.org/10.1093/eurheartj/ehab312).

Interpretation
| Age | 10-year risk of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular disease | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| < 50 years | <2.5% | 2.5 to <7.5% | ≥7.5% |
| 50 - 69 years | <5% | 5 to <10% | ≥10% |
| ≥ 70 years | <7.5% | 7.5 to <15% | ≥15% |
