In the 2000 publication, Wells proposed two different scoring systems using cutoffs of 2 or 4 with the same prediction rule.
Few prediction rules have had the consequences of their usage by physicians quantified.
The more intensively the prediction rule is implemented the more benefit will occur.
Here a model is fitted to provide a prediction rule for application in a similar situation to which the data used for fitting apply.
Shortly into the run, the prediction rule became discarded and each correct answer now scored $25.
A clinical prediction rule is available to guide diagnosis.
It can be integrated into clinical prediction rules for specific diseases or outcomes.
The most studied clinical prediction rule is the Wells score.
Most major diseases have established diagnostic criteria and/or clinical prediction rules.
Clinical prediction rules have been developed to more objectively predict outcomes of pneumonia.
