Areas to Consider Sample population matches the population of interest Inclusion and exclusion criteria Sampling frame and recruitment strategy, including methods to identify the study sample and the period/place of recruitment Adequate participation in the study by eligible patients Characteristics of baseline study sample Proportion of the study sample who complete the study Attempts to collect data on patients who withdraw from the study Reasons for loss to follow-up Characteristics of patients loss to follow-up Differences in characteristics and outcomes between patients who complete the study and patients lost to follow-up Clear definitions of candidate predictors Selection method for final model predictors Clearly defined method of measurement for each predictor Handling of each prognostic factor during model development (such as continuous or discrete) Handling of missing data and methods for imputation Clearly defined outcomes Outcome ascertainment that limits misclassification Outcome follow-up period Sufficient data presentation to assess the results Primary modelling method (such as logistic ) Appropriate use of alternative methods (such as competing risk or multiple event models) Appropriate confounding variables included Discrimination Calibration Reclassification, especially when models are compared to each other or another standard of care Risk categories provided that would trigger a diagnostic or therapeutic decision Clinical trial data to demonstrate an effect on decision-making or clinical outcomes Simple risk calculator or nomogram to facilitate use at the bedside Electronic or web-based calculator to facilitate use at the bedside
