CirculationPublished Scientific statement

Recommendations

As issued by the authors

  1. Rigorous evaluation of performance (accuracy, precision, incremental performance when added to contemporary multivariable risk models or established risk factors) and clinical utility (actionability, scalability, generalizability) before adoption in clinical practice

  2. Additional considerations: reproducibility, cost-value (including downstream health care costs) and implications for health equity
