Cardiovascular risk prediction models are widely used to guide preventative management, although many do not incorporate female-specific risk factors. The aim of this review is to identify published cardiovascular risk prediction models for women or those which include female-specific predictors and to summarize the predictors and model performance.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The protocol was developed following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA-P) guidelines. The protocol has been registered in PROSPERO (CRD420261420766). An update of the systematic review by Baart et al. will be performed by searching MEDLINE and EMBASE from July 27 2017 to May 2026 to identify primary articles reporting on the development and\/or validation of models predicting incident cardiovascular disease in women. Data on model predictors, performance, validation and clinical usability will be extracted. Risk of bias will be assessed using PROBAST+AI. Findings will be synthesized descriptively although quantitative synthesis will be considered when sufficiently comparable studies are available.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n
