Mashup Score: 2Accommodating population differences when validating risk prediction models - PubMed - 1 year(s) ago
Validation of risk prediction models in independent data provides a more rigorous assessment of model performance than internal assessment, for example, done by cross-validation in the data used for model development. However, several differences between the populations that gave rise to the trainin …

Mashup Score: 0Estimating vaccine effectiveness against SARS-CoV-2 infection, hospitalization and death from ecologic data in Costa Rica - PubMed - 1 year(s) ago
These effectiveness estimates agree well with findings from clinical trials and individual-level observational studies and indicate high effectiveness in the general population of Costa Rica. This novel statistical approach is promising for countries where ecologic, but not individual-level, data ar …

Mashup Score: 0Trends and predictors of hysterectomy prevalence among women in the United States - PubMed - 2 year(s) ago
Nationwide hysterectomy prevalence decreased among women aged ≥40 years from 2006 to 2016, particularly among non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic women. Age, non-Hispanic Black race, having insurance, current smoking, and living in the South were associated with increased odds of hysterectomy, even afte …
