Implication
Randomized trial evaluates prediction models using decision curve analysis, indicating clinical value and optimal strategies.
Key Points
- The aim is to evaluate and compare prediction models by incorporating clinical consequences using decision curve analysis.
- Described decision curve analysis as a method for evaluating predictive models.
- Assumed threshold probability indicates patient treatment preferences regarding false-positive and false-negative predictions.
- Applied the method to assess models predicting seminal vesicle invasion in prostate cancer.
- Identified valuable models within specific threshold probability ranges.
- Determined the magnitude of benefit from the models evaluated.
- Selected the optimal model among several alternatives.
