Group 1 (Elena Hall) |
How can we engage policy-makers to facilitate translation of risk prediction models into practice? |
Facilitator: Dr Lois Kim
|
|
|
Group 2 (Elena Hall) |
Are we developing too many risk scores, and are they too complex? (consider, for example: what are the implications for LMIC? Are we contributing to research waste?) |
Facilitator: Prof Emanuele Di Angelantonio
|
|
|
Group 3 (Sibilla Room) |
How can we best communicate risk model outputs to (a) patients and (b) clinicians? |
Facilitator: Dr Holly Pavey

How should we decide where to set the threshold for intervention based on risk model output? |
Facilitator: Stelios Boulitsakis Logothetis
|
|
|
Group 5 (Foyer) |
Should we be developing more universal models or more setting-specific models? Is recalibration useful? |
Facilitator: Dr Lisa Pennells
|
|
|
Group 6 (Lounge) |
How should we assess the clinical impact of risk prediction models? What are appropriate outcome measures for clinical impact studies, and what should be the control condition? |
