Hamad said the goal is to develop a risk calculator that doctors can use in clinical practice. This test could provide actionable insight into individual risk of complications based on a patient’s baseline characteristics, comparable to that seen in other fields such as internal medicine.
Hamad also said risk calculators can help patients set realistic expectations about what to expect after a particular procedure.
“Sometimes a patient comes in and they’re not happy after a procedure. It’s not the doctor’s fault, it’s not that the doctor gave them unrealistic expectations, but sometimes the patient is not happy. [an idea that] “I’m going to go back to normal, even better than usual.” “This is not how it works,” Hamad explained. So patients can also get some insight from the machine. ”
