Interesting paper on recalibration of risk prediction models from our friends at Biostatistics: Uni of Leicester: academic.oup.com/ije/advance-ar… Covers some important issues in prognostic modelling and calibration with time to event outcomes. Great work!

Looking forward to presenting this afternoon at #iscb41 #ISCB2020

🎉Our Epi/Stats Summer Seminar Series kicks off today at 12:00🎇 We're starting with an #InternalSeminar from Sarah Booth, who will be presenting her PhD work on "Up-to-date prognostic modelling of more detailed population-based cancer data"🔮♋📈 #Prognostic #CancerResearch

New paper on direct modelling of marginal relative/net survival. Joint work with Betty Syriopoulou and Mark Rutherford. bmcmedresmethodol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

The Stata Guide (medium.com/the-stata-guide) is slowly growing with over 180 subscribers now. On average three articles are added each month and the topics covered are branching out. A lot more is planned on the dataviz side but I also want do more on the research side.

😄Lots of fab talks at #ISCB2021 👩‍💼Drop in later today to hear @SarahBooth321 talk about "Accounting for improvements in survival when developing risk prediction models in a competing risks setting" 📈🔮⚔️ ➡️OC3C: Dynamic prediction ⏰20/07 14:12CEST/13:12BST #SurvivalAnalysis

Sneak preview of our new sample size paper coming out soon in Statistics in Medicine ...

NEW PAPER: Want to fairly compare cancer survival outcomes across groups with different other-cause mortality risks? Tired of trying to explain/interpret relative survival and "hypothetical worlds where you can't die of anything but cancer"? Have a read... bmcmedresmethodol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

PhD funding available. Key extension of improved risk prediction for polygenic risk scores and competing risks scenarios. Wider cohort of students and training as part of the Wellcome Trust Doctoral Training Programme at Leicester. Deadline 2nd December.

Future 50 #PhD scholarships at U. of Leicester. Including a project with Sarah Booth "Adapting prognostic models for individuals with multiple long-term health conditions" Interesting project with the PSTEP app. le.ac.uk/study/research…

📢 NEW OPEN-ACCESS PAPER "Using temporal recalibration to improve the calibration of risk prediction models in competing risk settings when there are trends in survival over time" doi.org/10.1002/sim.98… Many thanks to Sarah Booth for leading this work to improve calibration

Nice extension of the temporal recalibration approach to competing risks settings, allowing more up-to-date estimates of cumulative incidence functions. Useful when developing prognostic models, particularly for longer-term risks. Led by Sarah Booth, thanks to all co-authors.

🔍New Study Alert Prognostic models forecast patient health progression. Accuracy is essential for clinical use. Our study will look to enhance #COPD mortality risk predictions with new data. arc-em.nihr.ac.uk/research/calib… Sarah Booth Jonny Broomfield Mark Rutherford Biostatistics: Uni of Leicester

Our paper on symptoms in people with heart failure (HF) is out in Heart_BMJ. Using primary care records, we investigated if symptoms experienced just before HF diagnosis were associated with hospitalisation and mortality. They (mainly) are🧵Prof Kamlesh Khunti dx.doi.org/10.1136/heartj…
