Group 1

(Elena Hall)

How can we engage policy-makers to facilitate translation of risk prediction models into practice?

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?)

Prof Emanuele Di Angelantonio

 

 

Group 3

(Elena Hall)

How can we best communicate risk model outputs to (a) patients and (b) clinicians?

Dr Holly Pavey

 

 

Group 4

(Elena Hall)

How should we decide where to set the threshold for intervention based on risk model output?

Stelios Boulitsakis Logothetis

 

 

Group 5

(Foyer)

Should we be developing more universal models or more setting-specific models? Is recalibration useful?

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?
