Risk of malignancy in pulmonary nodules: A validation study of four prediction models

Objectives Clinical prediction models assess the likelihood of malignancy in pulmonary nodules detected by computed tomography (CT). This study aimed to validate four such models in a UK population of patients with pulmonary nodules. Three models used clinical and CT characteristics to predict risk (Mayo Clinic, Veterans Association, Brock University) with a fourth model (Herder et al. [ [4] Herder G.J. van Tinteren H.
