Abstract

Prognosis research studies (e.g. those deriving prognostic models or examining potential predictors of outcome) often collect information on time-varying predictors their intended moment of use, sometimes using a measurement method different to that which would be used. We aimed to illustrate how estimates of predictor-outcome associations and prognostic model performance obtained from such studies may differ to those at the earlier, intended moment of use.
