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