Discussion groups*
12:15pm
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
Group 4
(Sibilla Room)
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?
Facilitator: Prof Niels Peek
