All models are wrong and yours are useless - making clinical prediction models impactful for patients

Abstract:

Most published clinical prediction models are never used in clinical practice and there is a huge gap between academic research and clinical implementation. Here, I propose ways for academic researchers to be proactive partners in improving clinical practice and to design models in ways that ultimately benefit patients.
