Head-to-head comparisons of cardiovascular risk prediction models are currently limited by biases and a lack of standardized reporting, indicating a need for improved methodological rigor in future studies.
Biases limit reliability of cardiovascular risk model comparisons; challenges their use and leaves open need for standardized, formal head-to-head research.
Several risk prediction models for cardiovascular disease are available and their head to head comparisons would benefit from standardised reporting and formal, consistent statistical comparisons. Outcome selection and optimism biases apparently affect this literature.
