Methodology of establishing predictive models for clinical endpoints in patients with chronic hepatitis B / 临床肝胆病杂志

ABSTRACT

It is of great clinical significance to achieve accurate prediction of clinical endpoints in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB), identify the patients at a high risk of decompensated cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma, and thus strengthen intervention to reduce the corresponding mortality rate. With reference to the published predictive models for clinical endpoints in CHB patients, this article elaborates on the thoughts and basic steps of establishing predictive models from the aspect of methodology, hoping to provide a reference for future studies on predictive models for hepatitis B.
