An alternative approach identified optimal risk thresholds for treatment indication: an illustration in coronary heart disease.Published in
J Clin Epidemiol 2018; 94:122-31Publiekssamenvatting
Treatment thresholds based on risk predictions can be optimized by considering various health (economic) outcomes and performing marginal analyses, but this is rarely performed. We demonstrate a general approach to identify treatment thresholds optimizing individual health (economic) outcomes, illustrated for statin treatment based on 10-year coronary heart disease (CHD) risk predicted by the Framingham risk score.PMID
