maggic_risk_score: MAGGIC Heart Failure Risk Calculator

Description

Calculates the MAGGIC (Meta-Analysis Global Group in Chronic Heart Failure) Risk Score to predict 1-year and 3-year mortality in patients with heart failure (both reduced and preserved ejection fraction).

Usage

                  diabetes, copd, heart_failure_duration_gt_18mo, beta_blocker_use,
                  acei_arb_use, creatinine_units = "mg/dL")
