Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Cardiac and all cause mortality
Using novel image analysis methods, clinical risk factors, and blood biomarkers to predict future cardiac and all-cause mortality over a period of 15 years post CT scan.
Non-fatal vascular events
Using novel image analysis methods, clinical risk factors, and blood biomarkers to predict future non-fatal vascular events over a period of 15 years post CT scan.
Cardiac and non-cardiac findings by Computed Tomography
Using novel image analysis methods, clinical risk factors, and blood biomarkers to detect pathology from Computed Tomography images.
Progression of disease
Using novel image analysis methods, clinical risk factors, and blood biomarkers to predict progression of cardiometabolic diseases over a period of 15 years post index CT scan.
Secondary outcomes
Cardiovascular risk factors
Using novel image analysis methods and blood biomarkers, to detect and monitor cardiovascular risk factors and responsiveness to routine clinical care
Hospital admissions for any reason classified using ICD10
Using novel image analysis methods, to predict hospital admissions over a period of 15 years post CT scan
Genotyping
Using genotyping to predict clinical phenotypes
Progression of cardiovascular disease
Using novel image analysis methods, clinical risk factors, and blood biomarkers to predict disease progression measured by CT scans
