Overview of data-synthesis in systematic reviews of studies on outcome prediction models
BACKGROUND Many prognostic models have been developed. Different types of models, i.e. prognostic factor and outcome prediction studies, serve different purposes, which should be reflected in how the results are summarized in reviews. Therefore we set out to investigate how authors of reviews synthesize and report the results of primary outcome prediction studies. METHODS Outcome prediction r...
