Clinical prediction models to predict the risk of multiple binary outcomes: a comparison of approaches. (2020)
Journal Article
(2020). Clinical prediction models to predict the risk of multiple binary outcomes: a comparison of approaches. Statistics in Medicine, https://doi.org/10.1002/sim.8787

Clinical prediction models (CPMs) can predict clinically relevant outcomes or events. Typically, prognostic CPMs are derived to predict the risk of a single future outcome. However, there are many medical applications where two or more outcomes are o...
