Prognostic models for outcome prediction in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: systematic review and critical appraisal.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To map and assess prognostic models for outcome prediction in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Design

Systematic review.

Data sources

PubMed until November 2018 and hand searched references from eligible articles.

Eligibility criteria for study selection

Studies developing, validating, or updating a prediction model in COPD patients and focusing on any potential clinical outcome.

Results

The systematic search yielded 228 eligible articles, describing the development of 408 prognostic models, the external validation of 38 models, and the validation of 20 prognostic models derived for diseases other than COPD. The 408 prognostic models were developed in three clinical settings: outpatients (n=239; 59%), patients admitte
