Pre-procedural Risk Quantification for Carotid Stenting Using the CAS Score: A Report From the NCDR CARE Registry

TLDR
The NCDR CAS score, comprising 6 clinical variables, predicts in-hospital S/D after CAS and may be useful to assist clinicians in evaluating optimal management, share more accurate pre-procedural risks with patients, and improve patient selection for CAS.

Likelihood Modelling: Presentation of Multivariate Data for Clinical Use: The Framingham Study Risk Score Functions

TL;DR: An effort to make available a tool for clinicians to aid in their decision-making process regarding treatment and to assist them in motivating patients toward healthy behaviours is made available.

Understanding risk factors for perioperative ischemic events with carotid stenting: is patient age over 80 years or is unfavorable arch anatomy to blame?

TL;DR: In the present series, the incidence of perioperative complications was increased in patients with unfavorable aortic arch anatomy but not in patients ≥80 years.

Comparing the areas under two or more correlated receiver operating characteristic curves: a nonparametric approach.

TL;DR: A nonparametric approach to the analysis of areas under correlated ROC curves is presented, by using the theory on generalized U-statistics to generate an estimated covariance matrix.

Regression modeling strategies : with applications to linear models, logistic regression, and survival analysis

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a case study in least squares fitting and interpretation of a linear model, where they use nonparametric transformations of X and Y to fit a linear regression model.

Atrial fibrillation as an independent risk factor for stroke: the Framingham Study.

TL;DR: The data suggest that the elderly are particularly vulnerable to stroke when atrial fibrillation is present, and the effects of hypertension, coronary heart disease, and cardiac failure on the risk of stroke became progressively weaker with increasing age.

Evaluating the added predictive ability of a new marker: From area under the ROC curve to reclassification and beyond

TL;DR: Two new measures, one based on integrated sensitivity and specificity and the other on reclassification tables, are introduced that offer incremental information over the AUC and are proposed to be considered in addition to the A UC when assessing the performance of newer biomarkers.

Regression Modeling Strategies: With Applications to Linear Models, Logistic Regression, and Survival Analysis

TL;DR: The basic Bayesian framework must be constrained, use of the step function in computing the probability that a team would rank best or worst in a league, and implementation of a Dirichlet process prior are presented.
