Prognostication tools are developed to assist clinical decision making and provide valid diagnostic and prognostic outcomes including mortality. Given significant disease and demographic heterogeneity, these tools have to be generally applicable to different patient populations. Therefore, once a model is developed it is internally and externally validated with subsequent clinical impact analyses after which its performance is evaluated and that particular model is then established.
