Development and Validation of a Diabetes Risk Prediction Model With Individualized Preventive Intervention Effects

J Clin Endocrinol MetabPublished Prediction model development and validation study

Authors' conclusion

This is the first study to develop and validate a diabetes risk prediction model with individualized preventive intervention effects that may improve clinical decision-making and diabetes prevention.

Study context

Comparison
Diabetes risk model with individualized preventive intervention effects
Outcome
Discrimination, calibration and net benefit of the model's predictions for incident diabetes
Follow-up
3 years
Methodological detailsinternal validation, external validation, Cox proportional hazards regression
  • Internal validation
