AbstractBackgroundHow to select variables and identify functional forms for
continuous variables is a key concern when creating a multivariable model. Ad
hoc ‘traditional’ approaches to variable selection have been in use for at least
50 years. Similarly, methods for determining functional forms for continuous
variables were first suggested many years ago. More recently, many alternative
approache... hiện toàn bộ
Continual updating and monitoring of clinical prediction models: time for dynamic prediction systems? Tập 5 Số 1 - 2021

AbstractClinical prediction models (CPMs) have become fundamental for risk
stratification across healthcare. The CPM pipeline (development, validation,
deployment, and impact assessment) is commonly viewed as a one-time activity,
with model updating rarely considered and done in a somewhat ad hoc manner. This
fails to address the fact that the performance of a CPM worsens over time as
natural chan... hiện toàn bộ
Harnessing repeated measurements of predictor variables for clinical risk prediction: a review of existing methods Tập 4 Số 1 - 2020
Lucy M. Bull, Mark Lunt, Glen P. Martin, Kimme Hyrich, Jamie C. Sergeant
Abstract Background Clinical prediction models (CPMs) predict the risk of health
outcomes for individual patients. The majority of existing CPMs only harness
cross-sectional patient information. Incorporating repeated measurements, such
as those stored in electronic health records, into CPMs may provide an
opportunity to enhance their performance. However, the number and complexity of
methodologic... hiện toàn bộ
A generic nomogram for multinomial prediction models: theory and guidance for construction Tập 1 - Trang 1-7 - 2017

The use of multinomial logistic regression models is advocated for modeling the
associations of covariates with three or more mutually exclusive outcome
categories. As compared to a binary logistic regression analysis, the
simultaneous modeling of multiple outcome categories using a multinomial model
often better resembles the clinical setting, where a physician typically must
distinguish between ... hiện toàn bộ
Development of a clinical prediction rule for sepsis in primary care: protocol for the TeSD-IT study Tập 4 - Trang 1-9 - 2020

Early recognition and treatment of sepsis is crucial to prevent detrimental
outcomes. General practitioners (GPs) are often the first healthcare providers
to encounter seriously ill patients. The aim of this study is to assess the
value of clinical information and additional tests to develop a clinical
prediction rule to support early diagnosis and management of sepsis by GPs. We
will perform a di... hiện toàn bộ
