Guidelines for reporting multivariable prediction models for individual prognosis or diagnosis (TRIPOD) published

The recently published TRIPOD (Transparent reporting of a multivariable prediction model for individual prognosis or diagnosis) Statement provides recommendations for the reporting of studies developing, validating, or updating a prediction model study and consists of a 22-item checklist detailing the essential information that should be included in a report of a prediction model study.

The authors have also compiled a detailed explanation and elaboration paper which outlines the rationale and meaning of each checklist item, discusses issues around the design, conduct, and analysis of prediction model studies and provides examples of good reporting.
