- Scientific statement
Recommendations
As issued by the authors
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
Additional considerations: reproducibility, cost-value (including downstream health care costs) and implications for health equity
