Nan van Geloven on Platelet Transfusion Outcomes in Preterm Infants With Severe Thrombocytopenia
Nan van Geloven, Assistant Professor at Leiden University Medical Center, reposted from JAMA on LinkedIn:
”NEW PAPER
“Regular predictions are not suited for supporting individual treatment decisions. Combining prediction with causal inference is needed instead.”
Telling is one thing, doing is another.
In this new JAMA paper we put our money where our mouth is and applied causal inference to develop and evaluate a prediction model that estimates risks under different treatment options, supporting treatment decisions in preterm infants.
Highly rewarding to get the chance to put our newly developed methods in action, together with a great team of clinicians and epidemiologists.”
JAMA shared on LinkedIn:
”Among preterm infants with severe thrombocytopenia, this modeling study found substantial variation among individuals in predicted benefits and harms of prophylactic platelet transfusion based on their current clinical characteristics.”
