This field is the ACC Risk score calculated from information during the visit. The higher the score, the greater the ASCVD risk. The data file also includes a categorical variable that groups this score into either high, medium, or low risk (BASELINE_GROUP). After the baseline assessment, subsequent provider assessments of patient risk are in the RISK_SCORE field.
