The South African Surgical Outcomes Study: A 7-day prospective observational cohort study.

TL;DR: Most patients in SA's public sector hospitals undergo urgent and emergency surgery, which is strongly associated with mortality and unplanned critical care admissions, however, the most common comorbidity, HIV infection, was not associated with in-hospital mortality.

A Panel of Novel Biomarkers Representing Different Disease Pathways Improves Prediction of Renal Function Decline in Type 2 Diabetes

TL;DR: A novel panel of biomarker panel including matrix metallopeptidases, tyrosine kinase, podocin, CTGF, TNF-receptor-1, sclerostin, CCL2, YKL-40, and NT-proCNP improved the explained variability of eGFR decline on top of established risk markers in type 2 diabetes.

Review and evaluation of performance measures for survival prediction models in external validation settings.

TL;DR: A wide range of performance measures are reviewed and evaluated to provide some guidelines for their use in practice and it is recommended that Uno’s concordance measure is used to quantify Concordance when there are moderate levels of censoring.

The new measuring multimorbidity index predicted mortality better than Charlson and Elixhauser indices among the general population.

TL;DR: The M3 index had improved predictive performance for 1-year mortality risk over Charlson and Elixhauser indices, allowing better adjustment for mortality risk from chronic conditions, providing an important tool for population-level analyses of health outcomes.

A systematic review of predictive models for asthma development in children

TL;DR: Existing predictive models for asthma development in children have inadequate accuracy and efforts to improve these models’ performance are needed, but are limited by a lack of a gold standard for asthmadevelopment in children.
