Clinical Prediction Models for Cardiovascular Disease Tufts Predictive Analytics and Comparative Effectiveness Clinical Prediction Model Database

TL;DR: Clinical prediction models (CPMs) estimate the probability of clinical outcomes and hold the potential to improve decision making and individualize care as mentioned in this paper for patients with cardiovascular disease, there are numerous CPMs available although the extent of this literature is not well described.

Individual participant data meta-analysis of prognostic factor studies: state of the art?

TL;DR: Meta-analyses of prognostic factors studies using individual participant data are achievable and offer many advantages, as displayed most expertly by the IMPACT initiative, however such projects face numerous logistical and methodological obstacles, and their conduct and reporting can often be substantially improved.

Regression trees for predicting mortality in patients with cardiovascular disease: What improvement is achieved by using ensemble-based methods?

TL;DR: It is concluded that ensemble methods from the data mining and machine learning literature increase the predictive performance of regression trees, but may not lead to clear advantages over conventional logistic regression models for predicting short‐term mortality in population‐based samples of subjects with cardiovascular disease.

Predictors for outcome of failure of balloon dilatation in patients with achalasia

TL;DR: Young age at presentation, classic achalasia, high LOS pressure 3 months after PD and incomplete obliteration of the balloon's waist during PD are the most important predicting factors for the need for repeated treatment during follow-up.
