PLoS Med. 2013;10(2):e1001381. doi: 10.1371/journal.pmed.1001381. Epub 2013 Feb 5.

Abstract

Prognostic models are abundant in the medical literature yet their use in practice seems limited. In this article, the third in the PROGRESS series, the authors review how such models are developed and validated, and then address how prognostic models are assessed for their impact on practice and patient outcomes, illustrating these ideas with examples.
