What are clinical prediction rules?
[edit | edit source]

The intent of CPRs is to assist clinicians in making a diagnosis, establishing a prognosis, or implementing an intervention[1]. It has been suggested that well-constructed CPRs can improve clinical decision making and practice, there is a lack of consensus as to what constitutes a methodologically sound CPR.[2] 

Establishing a clinical prediction rule[edit | edit source]

The establishment of a clinical prediction rule in clinical practice requires four distinct phases:

  1. Development - Identification of predictors from an observational study
  2. Validation - testing of the clinical prediction rule in a seperate population to see if it remains reliable
  3. Impact analysis - measurement of the usefulness of the rule in the clinical setting in terms of cost-benefit, patient satisfaction, time/resource allocation, etc
