33 Individualized prediction of treatment effects

34 Rationale Cardiovascular disease runs in my family. Do I need to use a statin? Does that mean that I will benefit too? Research shows the average patient benefits from statin.

35 Translating the results of trials to clinical practice Trials report a single average relative effect. Applicable to which patiënt? Average patiënt? There is a range of treatment effect! Presumably based on patiënt characteristics. One treatment fits all is an oversimplification of clinical reality.

36 Average patient? % female

37 Average patient? 70% male % female

38 Average patient? years

39 Average patient? 70 years years

40 Average patient? Average treatment? Current practice: providing average treatment to an average patient! Large Numbers Needed to Treat (>30 in 10 years to prevent 1 outcome event). Unable to identify individual patients that have large benefit from treatment and have little/no harm.

41 Not every patient benefits from treatment! Glasziou et al, BMJ Nov 18;311(7016):

42 Subgroup analyses are not the solution! Univariable analyses of patient characteristics that modify relative treatment effect Disadvantages: Multiple testing (FP) Loss of statistical power One patient characteristic at the time: Full range of treatment effect heterogeneity remains undiscovered Correlation of characteristics (FN) Does not address heterogeneity of absolute treatment effect

43 Then what do we need? A model for estimation of absolute treatment effect for individual patients, based on multiple characteristics together......allowing to test heterogeneity of both absolute and relative treatment effect......while minimizing the risk for FP and FN results. Applicable before start of intended therapy Also applicable in fields of medicine where risk scores are not yet available

44 ??? Genes? Biomarkers? Imaging?? Solution: individualized prediciton of treatment effects by modelling based on available information!

45

46 Aims To show how absolute treatment effect for individual patients can be predicted based on data from randomised trials. To evaluate the net benefit of making treatment decisions based on individual predicted absolute treatment effect.
