The traditional risk factor model is composed of the variables included in the American Heart Association Pooled Cohort Equation: age, sex, systolic blood pressure, treatment of hypertension, total and HDL cholesterol, smoking, and diabetes.

χ2, Chi-square statistic; CI, confidence interval; NRI, net reclassification improvement index.

*

P < .01 for the increase in model fit and for the increase in the C-statistic after addition of ADAMTS13 to the traditional risk factors.

Percentages of subjects with or without an event who move to a higher or lower risk category after adding ADAMTS13 to the traditional risk factors. The risk categories are based on 10-year ischemic stroke risk <5%, 5%-7.5%, and >7.5%.

NRI is estimated as ([number of events reclassified higher minus number of events reclassified lower]/number of events) + ([number of nonevents reclassified lower minus number of nonevents reclassified higher]/number of nonevents).
