Comparison of dynamic updating strategies for clinical prediction models.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Prediction models inform many medical decisions, but their performance often deteriorates over time. Several discrete-time update strategies have been proposed in the literature, including model recalibration and revision. However, these strategies have not been compared in the dynamic updating setting.

Methods

We used post-lung transplant survival data during 2010-2015 and compared the Brier Score (BS), discrimination, and calibration of the following update strategies: (1) never update, (2) update using the closed testing procedure proposed in the literature, (3) always recalibrate the intercept, (4) always recalibrate the intercept and slope, and (5) always refit/revise the model. In each case, we explored update intervals of every 1, 2, 4, and 8 quarters. We a
