Recently published shocker regarding prediction of patient outcomes. Clinical intuition often as good, sometimes better than formal prediction models. jclinepi.com/article/S0895-…

Recent post about shocker showing clinical intuition often as good, sometimes better than formal prediction models generated interest. Here demonstrating the relation between the two in discrimination. Axes are c-statistic.sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Just published review very surprising finding: clinical intuition & formal empirically derived prediction models show similar discrimination in most cases. Reinforces that prediction models should demonstrate benefits to patients before widespread adoption doi.org/10.1016/j.jcli…
