Introduction to Clinical Prediction Models

This course is aimed at researchers who require a basic understanding of prediction modelling as part of their research studies. It is suitable for those who have no previous experience of prediction modelling, as well as those seeking to refresh their skills.

Clinical prediction models combine multiple pieces of patient information in order to predict a clinical outcome. This full-day course includes lectures and practical sessions, and aims to give its delegates an introduction to the clinical reasoning and statistical methodology behind clinical prediction models.
