Coming SoonEvidence Basis
All shared decision-making tools use natural frequency format ("X out of 100 people") following the International Patient Decision Aid Standards (IPDAS). Icon arrays are the most evidence-supported visual format for communicating risk across numeracy levels (Galesic & Garcia-Retamero, Risk Analysis 2009). Patient-facing text is written at a 5th-6th grade reading level per AMA and Joint Commission recommendations.

This shared decision-making tool is intended for use by licensed healthcare professionals during patient consultations. It is clinical decision support under Section 520(o)(1)(E) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and is not a medical device. All risk estimates are derived from published, peer-reviewed clinical trial data (CTT Collaborators, Lancet 2010; FOURIER, N Engl J Med 2017; ODYSSEY OUTCOMES, N Engl J Med 2018) and represent population-level data that may not reflect individual patient risk. This tool does not replace clinical judgment — the treating clinician is solely responsible for evaluating the applicability of these estimates and for all clinical decisions.
