About

Maintained by Jeremy SelvaFirst published 2025-05-192 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

An application to calculate a patient's pretest probability (PTP) for obstructive Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) from a collection of guidelines or studies. Guidelines usually comes from the American Heart Association (AHA), American College of Cardiology (ACC) or European Society of Cardiology (ESC). Examples of PTP scores that comes from studies are the 2020 Winther et al. basic, Risk Factor-weighted Clinical Likelihood (RF-CL) and Coronary Artery Calcium Score-weighted Clinical Likelihood (CACS-CL) models doi:10.1016/j.jacc.2020.09.585, 2019 Reeh et al. basic and clinical models doi:10.1093/eurheartj/ehy806 and 2017 Fordyce et al. PROMISE Minimal-Risk Tool doi:10.1001/jamacardio.2016.5501. As diagnosis of CAD involves a costly and invasive coronary angiography procedure for patients, having a reliable PTP for CAD helps doctors to make better decisions during patient management. This ensures high risk patients can be diagnosed and treated early for CAD while avoiding unnecessary testing for low risk patients.

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash

ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-pretestcad

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
