Performance of prediction models on survival outcomes of colorectal cancer with surgical resection: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Prediction models allow accurate estimate of individualized prognosis. Increasing numbers of models on survival of CRC patients with surgical resection are being published. However, their performance and potential clinical utility have been unclear. A systematic search in MEDLINE and Embase databases (until 9th April 2018) was performed. Original model development studies and external validation studies predicting any survival outcomes from CRC...
