- ItemAssessment of predictive models for binary outcomes: an empirical approach using operative death from cardiac surgery(Wiley, 1994) Marshall Rivera, Guillermo; Grover, Frederick L.; Henderson, William G.; Hammermeister, Karl E.Predictive models in medical research have gained popularity among physicians as an important tool in medical decision making. Eight methodological strategies for creating predictive models are compared in a large, complex data base consisting of preoperative risk and operative outcome data on 12,712 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting and entered into the Department of Veterans Affairs Cardiac Surgery Risk Assessment Program between April 1987 and March 1990. The models under consideration were developed to predict operative death (any death within 30 days following the surgical procedure or later if the result of a perioperative complication). The two strategies with the best predictive power among the eight examined were stepwise logistic regression alone and data reduction by cluster analysis combined with clinical judgement followed by a logistic regression model. The additive model based on unadjusted relative risks, the model based on Bayes' Theorem, and the logistic model using all candidate variables were good alternatives. Whether or not we imputed values did not have a significant impact on the predictive power of the models.
- ItemBayesian-logit model for risk assessment in coronary artery bypass grafting(1994) Marshall Rivera, Guillermo; Shroyer, A. Laurie; Grover, Frederick L.; Hammermeister, Karl E.Predictive models for the assessment of operative risk using patient risk factors have gained popularity in the medical community as an important tool for the adjustment of surgical outcome. The Bayes' theorem model is among the various models used to predict mortality among patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting procedures. Comparative studies of the various classic statistical techniques, such as logistic regression, cluster of variables followed by a logistic regression, a subjectively created sickness score, classification trees model, and the Bayes' theorem model, have shown that the Bayes' model is among those with the highest predictive power. In this study, the Bayes' theorem model is reformulated as a logistic equation and extended to include qualitative and quantitative risk factors. We show that the resulting model, the Bayesian-logit model, is a mixture of logistic regression and linear discriminant analysis. This new model can be created easily without complex computer programs. Using 12,712 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting procedures at the Department of Veterans Affairs Continuous Improvement in Cardiac Surgery Study between April 1987 and March 1990, the predictive power of the Bayesian-logit model is compared with the Bayes' theorem model, logistic regression, and discriminant analysis. The ability of the Bayesian-logit model to discriminate between operative deaths and operative survivors is comparable with that of logistic regression and discriminant analysis
