The Walking Man Approach to Interpreting the ROC curve and area under the ROC Curve
An accuracy study of a test that produces a wide range of results will often present a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and report the area under the ROC curve (AUROC). The AUROC is a summary measure of how well the test discriminates between those with the condition or disease in question and those without it. A test that perfectly separates individuals with and without the condition has an AUROC of 1.0, and a test that doesn ’t separate them at all has an AUROC of 0.5. The AUROC is also the probability that a random individual with the condition will have a more abnormal test result than a random individua...

Observational studies of antidepressant use and suicide risk are selectively published in psychiatric journals
To investigate if observational studies showing favorable results for antidepressants on suicidal behavior (reduced risk) are preferably and more easily published in psychiatric journals and cited more often, compared to studies with unfavorable results (increased risk).

Editors ’ choice
Three papers highlight the important issue of how varied perspectives can be incorporated most effectively into the research and guidelines process in the August 2023 issue of the Journal of Clinical Epidemiology (JCE). Akl and colleagues present an interesting taxonomy for stakeholder (or research-user) interests in guidelines in their commentary “A new taxonomy is proposed for defining the interests of stakeholders’ representatives in health research: the case of guideline development” [1]. Their taxonomy classifies research-user's perspectives into conflicts of interest or non-conflicts of interest. (Source: Journ...

Poor handling of continuous predictors in clinical prediction models using logistic regression: a systematic review
When developing a clinical prediction model, assuming a linear relationship between the continuous predictors and outcome is not recommended. Incorrect specification of the functional form of continuous predictors could reduce predictive accuracy. We examine how continuous predictors are handled in studies developing a clinical prediction model. (Source: Journal of Clinical Epidemiology)

Guidance needed: where should randomized studies which do not assess a health outcome be registered?
Prospective registration of clinical trials is a good scientific practice [1,2]. The International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) specifies that all clinical trials need to be prospectively registered in one of the clinical trial registries specified by them (primary registries of the World Health Organization International Clinical Trial Registry Platform or clinicaltrials.gov) [3,4]. When defining a clinical trial, the ICMJE is referring to the World Health Organization's definition: “any research study that prospectively assigns human participants or groups of humans to one or more health-related interve...
