Attending @WEON2024? Tired of speculations about the abundance of model development? Curious how many actually make it to clinical practice? Join our presentation “Clinical utilization of prediction models without sufficient validation or impact assessment” at 11:00hrs.

A snapshot from our Annual Hypermarker Meeting in Valencia. Big thanks to @incliva_iis for their hospitality! #Hypermarker #AnnualMeeting #Valencia #Incliva

Preparing my plenary talk for the Interdisciplinary Metareseach and Open Science conference. It's in Brisbane ☀️ But online participation is free from anywhere in the world I myself am looking forward to the talks of @StuartJRitchie and @CT_Bergstrom aimosconference.com

Food for thought on a Friday afternoon: We estimated about eighty thousand articles reporting new regression-based clinical prediction models were published until 2020. ☕️ Find out more in our preprint: osf.io/4txc6/ Publication will follow soon!

Ever wondered how many clinical prediction models there are when you read about the abundance of model development in health research? Check out our poster at #WEON2023. #EmbracingUncertainty #Epidemiology #Rotterdam

I wish I had all the needed research papers needed to call my thesis “Against categorization: how heart failure slicing by LVEF confused all”

A closer look at the gap between research and practice. Our protocol is published! Many thanks goes out to @LauraCowley28, and @laure_wynants and the rest of the amazing team at who are actively and tirelessly helping with all aspects this project.

Super pleased to see our protocol published to estimate the proportion of prediction models that end up in clinical practice! Led by the brilliant @_BArshi_ with @laure_wynants & others😁results to follow! bmjopen.bmj.com/content/13/5/e…

@LauraCowley28 @EndometriosisUK I wish you a full and speedy recovery Laura! 💐💐💐

1 month after our @EndometriosisUK charity walk I had my first & hopefully last surgery which revealed Stage 4 deep infiltrating #endometriosis. 4 days post op, being looked after by this fluffy one. Thank you to the Drs & nurses for your kindness & care

February reminder to check the calibration performance of clinical prediction models 🙏 Essential reading: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25560730/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26772608/ Example calibration plot (below) taken from this seminal paper: bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… More refs: prognosisresearch.com/guidance-progn…

The association of AGE-related skin autofluorescence with cardiac function, particularly worse systolic function, regardless of #diabetes, warrants investigation of mechanisms linking AGEs to #heartfailure and possible therapeutic targets @_BArshi_ bit.ly/3g4okBT 🔓

I had a PhD for several minutes. Many congrats to my friend and wishing her the very best on the path she has stepped on. 💐 Hoping to work with you one day in the future.😎

@palolili23 @candour20 It is never late to congratulate you again. 🙂🎓

Less than two weeks ago one of the most important moments of my career took place: defending my doctoral thesis and "receiving" my diploma as a PhD in Epidemiology (my paranymphs @_BArshi_ @candour20 did it for me)! 🥳👩🏽‍🎓 #epitwitter #PhDone

I think studying parameters of cardiac function themselves may result in less inconsistent findings than basing #HeartFailure profiles on LVEF only, using arbitrarily chosen cut-offs. And, yes, published this a while ago with the same basic thought.

We lost one of the greatest statisticians of all time: Sir David Cox, developer of both the binary logistic regression model (1958) and the Cox proportional hazards model (1972), but so much more. rss.org.uk/news-publicati… @vandy_biostat #Statistics #biostat

Everyone keeps talking about covid becoming endemic, but as I listen to the conversation, it’s becoming more & more clear to me that very few of you know what “endemic” means. So here’s a thread on how pandemics end.

Today: Jomo, jomo on the wall, which one is to set the predictor matrix of them all?

@laure_wynants Congratulations Laure! 🥳🥳🥳 Hope it’s been a great blackout birthday.

So there is a power blackout in our street and it will apparently not be fixed before 18:00. So I can't work. And it's my bday. Is this a bday present from an evil genius?
