Abstract:With this model we stratified the cohort into high and low risk groups, which corresponded to an overall positive predictive value (PPV) 31%, and negative predictive value (NPV) 96% by year 5 of follow-up (p<0.0001). To test this stratification criteria, the model was then applied to the external validation cohort and accurately predicted risk groups in this set with PPV 29%, NPV 93% by year 5 of follow-up (p<0.001). The final validated model was embedded in a web-based tool to calculate and illustrate patient… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
