Background The aim of this study was to validate the Mantle Cell Lymphoma International Prognostic Index in a population-based cohort and to study the relevance of its revisions. Design and Methods We analyzed data from 178 unselected patients with stage III or IV mantle cell lymphoma, registered between 1994 and 2006 in the Eindhoven Cancer Registry. Follow-up was completed up to January 1(st), 2008. Multiple imputations for missing covariates were used. Validity was assessed by comparing observed survival in our cohort with predicted survival according to the original Mantle cell lymphoma International Prognostic Index. A revised model was constructed with Cox regression analysis. Discrimination was assessed by a concordance statistic ('c'). Results The original Mantle cell lymphoma International Prognostic Index could stratify our cohort into three distinct risk groups based on Eastern Cooperative Group performance status, white blood cell count, lactate dehydrogenase level, and age, with the discrimination being nearly as good as in the original cohort (c 0.65 versus 0.63). A modified model including performance status in five categories (0/1/2/3/4) instead of two (0-1/2-4), the presence of B-symptoms (yes/no) and sex (male/female) in addition to the original variables resulted in a better prognostic index (c 0.75). Conclusions The Mantle cell lymphoma International Prognostic Index is a valid tool for risk stratification, comparison of prognosis, and treatment decisions in an unselected Dutch population-based setting. Although the index can be significantly improved, external validation on an independent data set is warranted before broad application of the modified instrument could be recommended.

Recall bias in pain scores evaluating abdominal wall and groin pain surgery

W. A. R. Zwaans, J. A. de Bruijn, J. P. Dieleman, E. W. Steyerberg, M. R. M. Scheltinga, R. M. H. Roumen

Summary: The purpose of this study was to examine whether patients tend to overestimate or underestimate their pre-operative pain levels when recalling them in the post-operative phase. The study found that a significant percentage of patients experienced recall bias, leading to misclassification of treatment outcomes.

Assessing Performance and Clinical Usefulness in Prediction Models With Survival Outcomes: Practical Guidance for Cox Proportional Hazards Models

David J. McLernon, Daniele Giardiello, Ben Van Calster, Laure Wynants, Nan van Geloven, Maarten van Smeden, Terry Therneau, Ewout W. Steyerberg, STRATOS Initiative

Summary: Risk prediction models need validation to assess their performance. This article focuses on evaluating predictions and improving clinical decision making using survival models based on Cox proportional hazards regression. The authors present a case study on breast cancer patients, where a Cox regression model is developed and validated for prediction of recurrence or death.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the performance of a decision support tool based on a machine learning model in predicting readmission or death within 7 days after ICU discharge. Through independent validation and retraining on multiple datasets, it was found that the model performed well in new settings and can be considered as an effective clinical tool.

Clinical consequences of nonadherence to Barrett's esophagus surveillance recommendations: a Multicenter prospective cohort study

Summary: In this multicenter prospective cohort study, it was found that half of Barrett's esophagus (BE) surveillance endoscopies do not adhere to guideline recommendations. However, there was no clear association between nonadherence and endoscopic curability of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) or mortality, indicating the need for optimization of BE surveillance guidelines to minimize the burden of endoscopies.

Bax, Maurice Enriquez-Sarano

Summary: This study examined the impact of secondary outcome determinants on post-operative survival in patients with degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR) and found that the number of these determinants was independently associated with increased mortality after surgery, providing better outcome discrimination than traditional indications for surgery.

Summary: The study aims to assess the improvement in reporting completeness of COVID-19 prediction models after peer review. The findings suggest that the reporting quality of preprints is poor and did not improve significantly after peer review, indicating that peer review had minimal effect on the completeness of reporting during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Summary: Mortality assessment in clinical studies of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has not been well-defined. This study aimed to determine the timing of mortality assessment in ICU patients with moderate-to-severe ARDS, and its predictive value for treatment response. Observational cohorts and a randomized trial were analyzed, and it was found that ICU mortality rates closely approximated 28-day mortality rates. ICU mortality assessment within the first week of a trial could serve as an early predictor of treatment response for moderate-to-severe ARDS patients.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate physicians' perspectives and decision-making behavior before implementing an AI-CDS tool for predicting readmission and mortality risk after ICU discharge. The survey results showed that most physicians had positive attitudes towards AI and AI-CDS tools, believing that they could support their work. Physicians expressed a willingness to incorporate a discharge AI-CDS tool into their daily clinical practice and recognized its value in their workflows.

A Bayesian (meta-)regression model for treatment effects on the risk difference scale

Doranne Thomassen, Ewout Steyerberg, Saskia le Cessie

Summary: In clinical practice, it is crucial to determine the absolute risk reduction of treatment for individual patients. However, logistic regression in trials with binary outcomes provides estimates of treatment effects in terms of log odds differences. In this study, we propose a new Bayesian regression model for binary outcomes on the additive risk scale, allowing for direct estimation of treatment effects on the linear scale of clinical interest. Comparisons were made with a previously proposed additive risk model and backtransforming predictions from a logistic model. Results showed that modelling untransformed risk can yield significantly different treatment effect estimates, particularly for small sample sizes or extreme predicted risks close to 0% or 100%. Our proposed model proved to be more sensitive in detecting all information in the data in a network meta-analysis.

Summary: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of death and disability worldwide. This study aims to understand the impact of TBI on various outcome domains, evaluating factors contributing to worsening or improving outcomes. The study used patient-reported outcome measures and identified different trajectory classes for outcome after TBI, including stable good health, persistent impairments, improving health, and deteriorating health. Individuals with persistent impairments and deterioration need special attention and long-term clinical monitoring and therapy.

Summary: This study proposes a standardized scalable framework to extend the assessment of treatment effect heterogeneity to the observational setting. The framework consists of five steps: definition of research aim, identification of relevant databases, development of prediction model, estimation of treatment effect within risk strata, and presentation of results. It allows for the evaluation of differential treatment effects across risk strata.

Summary: The generalizability of predictive algorithms is crucial for their application in clinical practice. This article provides an overview of three types of generalizability, namely temporal, geographical, and domain generalizability, based on existing literature. These types of generalizability are associated with their respective goals, methodology, and stakeholders.

Summary: Existing methods to characterise the evolving condition of traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) do not capture the necessary context for individualising treatment. In this study, the integration of heterogenous data from medical records was used to model the individualised impact of clinical course on 6-month functional outcome. The study showed that static variables accounted for the majority of functional outcome explanation after TBI.
