Article Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to provide a large, multi-center normative dataset for the Macular Integrity Assessment (MAIA) microperimeter and compare the goodness-of-fit and prediction interval calibration-error for a panel of hill-of-vision models.

Methods: Microperimetry examinations of healthy eyes from five independent study groups and one previously available dataset were included (1137 tests from 531 eyes of 432 participants [223 women and 209 men]). Linear mixed models (LMMs) were fitted to the data to obtain interpretable hill-of-vision models. A panel of regression models to predict normative data was compared using cross-validation with site-wise splits. The mean absolute error (MAE) and miscalibration area (area between the calibration curve and the ideal diagonal) were evaluated as the performance measures.

Results: Based on the parameters "participant age," "eccentricity from the fovea," "overlap with the central fixation target," and "eccentricity along the four principal meridians," a Bayesian mixed model had the lowest MAE (2.13 decibel [dB]; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.9-2.36 dB) and miscalibration area (0.13; 95% CI = 0.07-0.19). However, a parsimonious linear model provided a comparable MAE (2.17 dB; 95% CI = 1.93-2.4 dB) and a similar miscalibration area (0.14; 95% CI = 0.08-0.2).

Conclusions: Normal variations in visual sensitivity on mesopic microperimetry can be effectively explained by a linear model that includes age and eccentricity. The dataset and a code vignette are provided for estimating normative values across a large range of retinal locations, applicable to customized testing patterns.

Objective: To externally validate the published postoperative and BRCA models predictive of early relapse in patients with advanced-stage epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) using independent Australian and Dutch cohorts.

Methods: Advanced-stage EOC patients diagnosed between January 1, 2002, and June 1, 2006, in Australia, and between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2017, in the Netherlands were included. Data from patients who underwent cytoreductive surgery and platinum-based chemotherapy were used to validate both models.

Background: The electronic frailty index (eFI) is nationally implemented into UK primary care electronic health record systems to support routine identification of frailty. The original eFI has some limitations such as equal weighting of deficit variables, lack of time constraints on variables known to resolve and definition of frailty category cut-points. We have developed and externally validated the eFI2 prediction model to predict the composite risk of home care package; hospital admission for fall/fracture; care home admission; or mortality within one year, addressing the limitations of the original eFI.

Introduction: Incorporation of mammographic density to breast cancer risk models could improve risk stratification to tailor screening and prevention strategies according to risk. Robust evaluation of the value of adding mammographic density to models with comprehensive information on questionnaire-based risk factors and polygenic risk score is needed to determine its effectiveness in improving risk stratification of such models.

Methods: We used the Individualized Coherent Absolute Risk Estimator (iCARE) tool for risk model building and validation to incorporate density to a previously validated literature-based model with questionnaire-based risk factors and a 313-variant polygenic risk score (PRS).

Background: To summarize the statistical performance of machine learning in predicting revision, secondary knee injury, or reoperations following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), and to provide a general overview of the statistical performance of these models.

Methods: Three online databases (PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE) were searched from database inception to February 6, 2024, to identify literature on the use of machine learning to predict revision, secondary knee injury (e.g.
