Researchers at the University of Hong Kong have developed an AI-driven risk prediction model called P-CARDIAC to assess the likelihood of cardiovascular disorder recurrence among patients with high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high blood lipids. The study found that these patients have a 70% chance of developing cardiovascular disorders again within ten years. This tool aims to improve personalized treatment plans and healthcare resource allocation. According to the Department of Health, 30%, 10%, and 50% of Hong Kong residents aged between 18 and 84 suffer from high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high blood lipids, respectively. These conditions can lead to severe health issues such as stroke and coronary heart disease, which claimed over 7,000 lives in Hong Kong in 2023.
