Background: Cardiovascular prognostic models guide treatment allocation and support clinical decisions. Objective: To identify and critically evaluate cardiovascular prognosis models developed, tested or recalibrated in Latin American populations. Methods: The systematic review followed the CHARMS framework and was registered in PROSPERO CRD42018096553. The following search engines were used: EMBASE, MEDLINE, Scopus, SCIELO and LILACS. Risk of bias assessment was performed using PROBAST. A quantitative summary was not performed due to high heterogeneity. Results: From 2,506 search results, 8 studies (N = 130,482 participants) were included for qualitative synthesis. We were unable to identify any cardiovascular prognostic model developed for Latin American populations. Only 1 study included a Caribbean population (Puerto Rico); 3 studies were retrieved from Chile; 2 from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Uruguay; and 1 from Mexico. The Framingham model was tested 6 times and the ACC/AHA pooled equation was tested twice. Across the forecast models evaluated, the calibration varied widely from one population to another, showing large overestimation particularly in some subgroups. Discrimination (e.g., C statistic) was acceptable for most models; for Framingham it ranged from 0.66 to 0.76. The combined ACC/AHA equation showed the best discrimination (0.78). Conclusions: Cardiovascular prognosis models have not been developed in Latin America, which makes it difficult to obtain key evidence to inform public health and clinical practice. Validation studies should improve methodological issues.
