#aimos2023, what a treat talks: great people: interesting and kind catering: delicious location: amazing livestream: free

What a fun experience talking about prediction models the whole day. Exceptional to have such an active and engaged audience asking so many questions! Thanks!

Got to meet Dr Myra McGuinness' hive today!

1 December is the deadline to register for our short course on clinical prediction models and machine learning. We cover model building, validation and beyond, software, and critical appraisal. maastrichtuniversity.nl/epidemiology-c…

In a new article in Scientific Reports I find that male PhD students are almost twice as likely than female PhD students to obtain a cum laude distinction for their dissertation. A cum laude is very rare, and only awarded to 5% of Dutch PhD students. 1/5 OA: nature.com/articles/s4159…

NEW PAPER: ✨How do public health researchers interpret regression coefficients?✨ doi.org/10.1186/s12889… Not a survey or quiz, this is qualitative work exploring diverse epistemological and interpretative practice in biostatistics. #statstwitter #epitwitter

Reminded today about how important this paper is by Laure Wynants @laurewynants.bsky.social Ben Van Calster Ewout Steyerberg Maarten van Smeden et al "Three myths about risk thresholds for prediction models" Highly recommended reading bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Discover our latest research in BMJMedicine! We conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of external validations of the ADNEX model for ovarian cancer diagnosis, highlighting areas for methodological reporting improvement. bmjmedicine.bmj.com/content/3/1/e0…

Systematic review with meta-analysis of >30 validations of 1 model: IOTA-ADNEX

Academia is: 5% research 5% teaching 20% meetings 20% EMAILS! 5% Reformatting manuscripts 5% Requesting password reminders 10% filling in forms 5% looking for forms/guidance 'on sharepoint' 5% using Google to find forms/guidance on your uni website 20% moaning about academia

Read one of our latest papers by Lasai Barreñada Paula Dhiman Gary Collins 🇪🇺 Laure Wynants @laurewynants.bsky.social Jan Verbakel and Ben Van Calster which examines the use of ADNEX, a risk prediction model for diagnosis of ovarian cancer. #womenshealth #ADNEX

From a paper I found today: "The c-index of the model is .794, a value that is only decimals away from what is commonly taken as a good predictive capability" Close but no 🍾!

Er zijn nog vrije plekken voor de Cursus Klinische Predictiemodellen in Maastricht in mei. Deze cursus, waaraan ik naar goede gewoonte ook zal bijdragen, wordt al bijna tien jaar goed gesmaakt door zorgprofessionals en promovendi. klinischepredictiemodellen.nl

Also methodology work is often done ‘on the side’ and so can be hard to find dedicated time This is why we desperately need much more funding for methodology research, which after all underpins health research 4/n

New update of the TRIPOD+AI statement promotes best practice in reporting clinical prediction models, TRIPODStatement #AI bmj.com/content/385/bm…

TRIPOD now includes reporting standards for machine learning for clinical applications

In case you missed it, already forgot about it or if you are desperately looking for reading material for the weekend: TRIPOD+AI came out this week 👇 bmj.com/content/385/bm…

We looked at dynamic random forest prediction models for central line-associated bloodstream infections on EHR from UZ Leuven. We compared binary, multiclass, time-to-event, and competing risk outcome definitions. With elena albu Laure Wynants @laurewynants.bsky.social arxiv.org/abs/2404.16127
