Newly published systematic review provides clear recommendations for future prediction models

2019-03-14

Strijker et al. performed a systematic review of prediction models for survival after surgery for resectable pancreatic cancer. The study was published in the British Journal of SurgeryAfter screening 4403 studies, 21 models were identified of which 8 models can be used preoperatively and 13 models postoperatively. Only two models were found to have low risk of bias. Besides, most models were not validated externally. To improve future studies on prediction models for pancreatic cancer, Strijker et al. provided practical recommendations. One of their recommendations concerns the presentation of prediction models. Models should be presented as easily applicable to use (online) tools: Available for all clinicians and which can be used during clinical consultations. Evidencio facilitates the use of clinically useful prediction tools by allowing a large amount of prediction models to be accessed publicly. Also, anyone developing a prediction tool is able to create an online tool on the Evidencio platform.
