Development, validation, and clinical utility of a risk prediction model to identify older women with dementia for proactive palliative care
This prediction model, incorporating readily available predictors, demonstrated compelling performance and clinical utility for identifying older women with dementia at high risk of one-year mortality. The model has the potential to facilitate timely palliative care interventions and is publicly accessible via a web-based calculator. Further external validation in diverse populations and healthcare settings is warranted to confirm its generalisability.
