| Popis: | The burden of obesity and risk of cardiovascular (CV) disease amongst an oncology population receiving active treatment is ill-defined. We performed a retrospective analysis assessing the incidence of obesity and cardiovascular (CV) risk factors in this group (grp) of patients as well as the predicted 10-year risk of a CV event. Data from all patients (pts) receiving intravenous chemotherapy in an Irish oncology satellite unit over an 18-month period was extracted from chemotherapy prescriptions and electronic patient records. To calculate patients’ 10-year risk of developing CV disease, we used QRISK, a predictive risk calculator. The prevalence of obesity (BMI > 30) amongst the total population was 19% (n = 21), with 26% (n = 28) overweight (BMI, 25– |
