Predicting the risk of syncope in patients with an indication for antihypertensive treatment: development of the stratify-syncope prediction model

This prediction model identified a number of strong predictors of syncope which are routinely available in an individual's electronic health records. The accuracy of this model will examined in a further ∼3,000,000 patients from a different electronic health record database. If it is found to perform well, such a model could be used to provide personalised estimates of an individual's risk of harm from antihypertensive treatment, thus facilitating more informed treatment choices.
