PY - 2020 DA - 2020/02/05 TI - A systematic review of methodology used in the development of prediction models for future asthma exacerbation JO - BMC Medical Research Methodology SP - 22 VL - 20 IS - 1 AB - Clinical prediction models are widely used to guide medical advice and therapeutic interventions. Asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases globally and is characterised by acute deteriorations. These exacerbations are largely preventable, so there is interest in using clinical prediction models in this area. The objective of this review was to identify studies which have developed such models, determine whether consistent and appropriate methodology was used and whether statistically reliable prognostic models exist.
