Question · asked by 1 review
Multivariable caries prediction model vs Alternative prediction model(s) within the same study, or no formal comparator (models compared descriptively; no between-model statistical test): Predictive performance for root caries increment (positive likelihood ratio, LR+)
- Population
- Older adults (aged 52-95; mean 52-73) at risk of root caries increment
- Intervention
- Multivariable caries prediction model
- Comparison
- Alternative prediction model(s) within the same study, or no formal comparator (models compared descriptively; no between-model statistical test)
- Outcome
- Predictive performance for root caries increment (positive likelihood ratio, LR+)
Developmental root-caries prediction models were generally modest, except Sanchez-Garcia 2011 (LR+ 7.09) which reached the useful threshold; no pooled estimate; ungraded.

Multivariable prediction models of caries increment: a systematic review and critical appraisal. (2023) All outcomes | No meta-analysis. Only one root-caries validation study (Hayes 2017 [33], 5 Cariogram models); per-model LR+ (Table 2) ranged 1.88-2.78 (best when mutans streptococci omitted). | 1 study | GRADE not reported |

How reviews are matched to this question
Reviews word the same question differently. Four decision models (TypeSafe's Jev, Liquid AI's d1-ultra, SubQ Snap and Baseten's Elephant) judged each wording of the population, intervention, comparator and outcome against the others; two wordings count as the same when at least three of them agree and none clearly disagrees, and findings count as this question only when all four elements match. Timing, setting and subgroup never split a question: they are shown on each finding.
