Local adaptation and validation of a transdiagnostic risk calculator for first episode psychosis using mental health patient records by Elizabeth Ford, James Stone, James Stone, James Stone, Dominic Oliver, Dominic Oliver, Dominic Oliver, Benjamin Fell, Gloria Roque, Sam Robertson, Paolo Fusar-Poli, Paolo Fusar-Poli, Paolo Fusar-Poli, Paolo Fusar-Poli, Kathryn Greenwood, Kathryn Greenwood

“…In an analysis sample of 63,922 patients with complete data, the risk calculator had acceptable but lower accuracy in Southeast England (Harrell’s C 0.71) compared to the London benchmark (Harrell’s C 0.85).ConclusionsThe risk calculator performed similarly in Southeast England to other external validation studies, discriminating acceptably, suggesting that this calculator may be adapted successfully for new patient populations, services and geographic areas. Differences in accuracy may be due to different cultures of data capture, different NLP approaches, or differences in the patient cohort.…”
