NEW PAPER in BMC Medicine 'Clinical prediction models and the multiverse of madness' ->tinyurl.com/47jk287y Which follows on from our earlier work on the importance of assessing prediction model instability -> tinyurl.com/tjnddxr8 #statstwitter #statsX #MachineLearning

Still time to apply to do a PhD with myself Joie Ensor Dr Lucy Teece Prof Kamlesh Khunti

NEW PAPER in The BMJ (with Richard Riley (R²)) - 1st in a 3 part series on the ‘Evaluation of clinical prediction models’. Part 1 is ‘from development to external validation’. —> tinyurl.com/n8fy5xvj

⭐️NEW PAPER with Gary Collins 🇪🇺 & co in The BMJ "Evaluation of clinical prediction models (part 2): how to undertake an external validation study" - key steps - target population - high-quality dataset - evaluating predictive performance & utility + more bmj.com/content/384/bm…

The third and final paper in the series on prediction model validation is out now The BMJ: criteria for calculating minimal sample size bmj.com/content/384/bm…

Sample size is so very neglected in most prediction model research Here is a paper from our team that guides researchers toward sample sizes for precise performance estimates in validation studies And pmvalsampsize is your one line of code to implement it! By Joie Ensor

Pushing ahead with novel research for patient benefit is futile (harmful) unless accompanied by high standards in design, analysis & reporting Evidence of methodology quality should be paramount for funders at each stage of grant submissions Yet it's not tinyurl.com/z7hjrdmj

A landmark paper - our The BMJ network meta analysis of community-based complex interventions for older people - bmj.com/content/384/bm… A labour of love, funded by National Institute for Health and Care Research & amazing team Academic Unit for Ageing and Stroke Research Richard Riley (R²) NIHR Yorkshire & Humber ARC British Geriatrics Society Professor Chris Whitty Community Health Services

We are excited that our big systematic review has been published in the BMJ. Read it here: doi.org/10.1136/bmj-20… Andrew Clegg Richard Riley (R²) Joie Ensor National Institute for Health and Care Research UniLeedsMed&Health 💙 @cityofresearch

Methodology research is an intense process mentally & emotionally - this rarely gets mentioned so thought I would share that it’s something I struggle with personally It’s all consuming as your brain keeps trying to solve problems & generate solutions Exciting & exhausting 1/n

NEW PAPER out today in @BMJ_latest TRIPOD+AI: reporting recommendations for studies developing or validating prediction models for use in healthcare that use #machinelearning methods bmj.com/content/385/bm… #ArtificialIntelligence #AIstandards #OpenAccess Please share 🙏
